What is AES Rehost?

What is AES Rehost?

There has been a lot of discussion recently about changes to the Automated Export System (AES) and how it relates to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).

The AES system was developed back in 1994 and so the system needs to be updated with technology and platform. ACE is commercial trade processing system designed to automate border processing, to enhance border security and foster our Nation’s economic security through lawful international trade and travel. See What is ACE?

From Global Reach:

This migration of the AES to ACE is called the rehost. The purpose of the rehost is to make the technology more modern in order to develop a transition to the ACE. The ACE will become the “single window”, the primary system through which the international trade community will submit import and export data and documentation required by all Federal agencies.

How will this affect you?

You will continue to transmit your export shipments through AES as you always have been. The changes to the AES are best defined as an internal upgrade.
