Argents Express Group (New York)
Argents Express Group, founded in 1977 by William Chiappetta, operates from New York with a footprint across five U.S. offices and a team of about 65 professionals. The company provides a broad range of logistics services, spanning customs brokerage, domestic and international forwarding, and warehousing. Its capabilities include container stuffing, which supports efficient handling and loading of freight, and comprehensive customs clearance processes tailored to both import and export requirements.
A key differentiator for Argents Express Group is its licensed status and certifications. The organization is a certified member of IATA and holds FMC licenses as both an ocean forwarder and a non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC), underscoring its compliance with international shipping standards and its ability to manage complex freight movements across ocean and air modes. In addition to standard forwarding and storage services, the company operates a specialized hazardous-material (hazmat) program, enabling turn-key management of dangerous goods shipments. The program is supported by two fully certified hazmat agents in each office, reflecting a commitment to safety, regulatory adherence, and risk management in handling restricted cargo.
To enhance visibility and execution for clients, Argents Express Group has deployed the Argents Tracker program. This system provides a dedicated linked computer at the client site to maintain a real-time database of shipment movements and consignees, generate air waybills, and print bills of lading as needed. This integrated approach helps customers monitor shipments, manage documentation, and streamline communications throughout the supply chain.
With a focus on both domestic United States operations and international freight forwarding, the company emphasizes a full-service logistics approach that includes warehousing solutions and value-added services such as stuffing and streamlined customs processing. The combination of regulatory credentials, specialized hazmat capabilities, and client-tracking tools positions Argents Express Group as a multi-modal logistics partner capable of supporting diverse freight requirements while maintaining compliance and operational oversight.
