C.H. Robinson's DeSpir Logistics earns TAPA cargo security certification
The Freight Broker Security Requirements certification, known as FBSR, is designed to help protect high-risk and high-value freight and mitigate theft, fraud, loss and other security failures.
DeSpir Logistics, a C.H. Robinson company specialising in high-value freight, has achieved TAPA AMERICAS FBSR 2025 Tier 1 certification. DeSpir Logistics is one of the first 3PLs in North America with this highest certification level for freight brokerage.
TAPA, the Transported Asset Protection Association, maintains a globally recognised cargo security, theft-prevention and transportation risk-management standard. The Freight Broker Security Requirements certification, known as FBSR, is designed to help protect high-risk and high-value freight and mitigate theft, fraud, loss and other security failures.
“With cargo theft and fraud becoming more sophisticated, shippers need confidence that their critical shipments are supported by international security standards,” said Adam McDonough, Vice President for Capacity at C.H. Robinson. “The certification provides independent validation of the processes, oversight and carrier standards that help protect this high-value freight.”
C.H. Robinson acquired DeSpir on June 22, 2026, strengthening the global logistics provider’s capabilities in premium security, compliance and execution. This also expanded the company’s network of highly vetted and security-focused contract carriers.
