The American Association of Exporters and Importers (AAEI) has represented the unique interests of global trade professionals for more than 100 years. AAEI was originally created to support U.S. exporters and importers looking to improve international trade and supply chains. Today, the Association represents the entire community, upholding its mission to make trade “secure, efficient, and open.” AAEI members are part of a growing group of trade compliance professionals, tasked to ensure compliance with U.S. and international laws governing imports, exports, and internal organizational compliance. At AAEI, we amplify members’ voices, working side-by-side to influence laws and regulations that affect daily operations for key industry importers, exporters, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and trade service providers.
