Freight Forwarder in Los Angeles
FMC-licensed international freight forwarding from Glendale, California — near the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach
Your Trusted Freight Forwarder in the Los Angeles Area
American Global Freights (AGF) is an international freight forwarding company headquartered in Glendale, California — just minutes from downtown Los Angeles and strategically located near the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, the busiest container port complex in North America.
As an FMC-licensed NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) and WCA member, we provide comprehensive freight forwarding services for businesses across Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Burbank, and all of Southern California. Whether you're importing goods from China, exporting to the Middle East, or need warehousing near the port, AGF is your single point of contact for end-to-end logistics.
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. With our own office in Foshan, China, we offer hands-on origin-side management for the Trans-Pacific trade lane, the busiest shipping corridor that flows directly through the Port of LA.
