Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and its 80 percent (or more) owned U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. We file unitary or separate state returns based on state filing requirements. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to audits of U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax returns before 2006. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 36.6 percent and 38.0 percent, respectively. The lower rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to foreign tax credits. In addition, the effective income tax rate for both periods is greater than the statutory federal income tax rate due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
