Your Freight Forwarding Partner at the Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach is one of the busiest and most important seaports in the world, handling billions of dollars in trade each year. Together with the adjacent Port of Los Angeles, it forms the busiest container port complex in North America — and the primary gateway for Trans-Pacific trade between Asia and the United States.

American Global Freights (AGF) is an FMC-licensed NVOCC headquartered in Glendale, California, just 30 miles from the Port of Long Beach. Our proximity to the port, combined with our drayage partners and licensed customs brokers, means your containers move from vessel to warehouse faster and with fewer complications.

With our own office in Foshan, China, we manage the origin side of your shipments — from factory pickup to export documentation — giving you end-to-end control of the supply chain that flows through the Port of Long Beach.

Port of Long Beach: Gateway to US Trade

The Port of Long Beach handles over 9 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually, making it one of the busiest container ports in the world. It serves as the primary entry point for goods from China, Southeast Asia, and the broader Pacific Rim into the US market.

AGF's expertise at this port means we understand terminal operations, vessel schedules, chassis availability, and the regulatory environment that determines how quickly your containers are released. Our proactive approach to demurrage and detention management helps keep your costs predictable and your cargo moving.
