Who We Are

American Global Freights was born from a conviction that the freight forwarding industry needed a new kind of company — one built on transparency, reliability, and a genuine commitment to every client's success. Founded by Ari Baghdasaryan, AGF started with a simple promise: to treat every shipment as if our own name depended on it. Because it does.

Our Growth

From our headquarters in Glendale, California, AGF has expanded to include an operational office in Foshan, Guangdong, China — placing us directly in one of the world's most important manufacturing regions. This dual presence gives us a real advantage on the China–USA lane: we manage both ends of that supply chain with our own teams, cutting the communication gaps and delays that frustrate importers everywhere.

In Kazakhstan and Central Asia we are represented byDirect Delivery & Cargo (DDC) in Almaty, our authorized representative in that market. AGF remains your FMC-licensed NVOCC; DDC handles EAEU clearance, EAC certification and delivery at the destination end.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make international freight forwarding accessible, transparent, and stress-free for businesses of all sizes. We believe that every company — whether shipping one container or one hundred — deserves the same level of expertise, attention, and competitive pricing. We achieve this through transparent door-to-door quotes that list what is excluded, proactive communication at every stage, and a team that genuinely cares about your success.

Why We Are Different

In an industry where hidden charges, slow communication, and impersonal service are too common, AGF stands apart. We quote door to door with the standard charges built in and list what is excluded — duties and taxes, and charges that depend on events (exams, demurrage, detention, storage) — so the quote is the number you plan with. Our team gives responsive support during business hours, with after-hours contact for urgent shipments, and every client has a dedicated point of contact who knows their business. As an FMC-licensed NVOCC and WCA member (#144028), we combine the reach of a global network with the responsiveness of a hands-on, founder-led company.

Our Global Reach

Through our WCA membership — a global network of independent freight forwarders with more than 13,000 member offices across about 190 countries — we can move cargo between virtually any two points on the globe. The network gives us vetted agents at origin and destination, so we can keep service consistent wherever your cargo travels.

Our Commitment to You

At American Global Freights, your cargo is our responsibility and your success is our reputation. We invest in long-term relationships, not one-time transactions. When you work with AGF, you get a partner who is as invested in your shipment's safe arrival as you are.
