🚢 Understanding Seafood Grades And Quality Standards

In international seafood trade, quality grading defines trust between exporters and importers. At North East Trade Wings, a leading seafood supplier from India, we believe that understanding seafood grades helps importers make smarter sourcing decisions.

Seafood is graded based on freshness, size, appearance, and processing standards. The most common grades are Grade A, Grade B, and Industrial Grade. Grade A represents premium export quality — firm texture, natural colour, and precise processing. Grade B is good quality with minor variations, often used for value-added or processed products. Industrial Grade is typically meant for further processing or secondary markets.

Another key factor is certification and compliance. Reliable exporters follow global standards such as HACCP, EU approval, and US FDA guidelines, ensuring hygiene, traceability, and sustainability. Products are checked for temperature control, moisture levels, and packaging integrity before shipment.

For importers, working with suppliers who maintain strict grading and inspection systems means fewer rejections, consistent quality, and long-term reliability.

At North East Trade Wings, every shipment meets international benchmarks — from frozen shrimp and fish to cephalopods and value-added seafood — providing quality you can trust across every container.

Seafood quality isn’t just about appearance — it’s about assurance. And that’s what we deliver, shipment after shipment.
