Sell beyond the commissary.
Get into the Base Exchange.
The Exchange (AAFES) is a separate retail channel on base — convenience, lifestyle, and souvenir products all qualify, not just groceries. One annual registration unlocks it. Reuse the product data you already entered on your commissary registrations (40-15) — no commissary approval required — add the retail details, and KOEIGO shepherds your products through Exchange review.
Why register for the Exchange?
A second storefront for products you already make — with almost none of the setup work.
A whole new retail channel
The Exchange serves service members and their families every day — and unlike the commissary, it carries general merchandise, souvenirs, and lifestyle goods alongside food and beverage.
Your commissary data, reused
Every product you've ever entered on a commissary registration can be imported in one click — approved or not. The Exchange is a separate entity, so commissary decisions don't hold you back.
KOEIGO handles the process
We review every registration before it goes to the Exchange, catch issues early, and keep you updated by email at every stage — in English or Japanese.
How it works
Pay the annual registration
One secure card payment unlocks BX product registration for a full year — unlimited products.
Import or add products
Pull items straight from your existing commissary registrations, or enter brand-new products made for the Exchange.
Complete the retail details
Add the retail-buyer info the Exchange expects: category, description, USD pricing, distribution, and marketing assets.
Two-step approval
KOEIGO reviews and submits your products; the Exchange gives final approval. You're notified at each step.
Simple annual pricing
Everything included:
- Unlimited product registrations for 12 months
- One-click import from your commissary registrations
- KOEIGO pre-review before Exchange submission
- Bilingual support and status notifications
- Renew only if it's working for you — no auto-billing
Payment is by card via secure Stripe checkout, made inside your supplier portal.
What you'll need per product
Most of this is already on your commissary registration — the rest takes a few minutes per product.
- Product, front, and back photos
- USD retail pricing (list cost and MSRP)
- A short product description and category
- Barcode / GTIN and case pack details
- Country of manufacture and availability info
