About BASU International
Discover our rich heritage since 2002, our three certified seafood trademark brands, and our advanced quality assurance laboratories.
Our Sourcing Origin & Milestones
Founded in 2002 along the coastal trading hubs of West Bengal, BASU International began as a specialized exporter of high-grade wild-caught tiger shrimp. Over the next two decades, we expanded dynamically into farm-aquaculture, multi-species finfish lines, and the premier dried Fish Maw market.
2002
Establishment Sourcing
Began custom packaging and exporting block-frozen Black Tiger shrimp to Japan and Singapore.
2005
Plant Commissioning
Inaugurated our primary processing plant in Kolkata, acquiring USFDA and EU health certificates.
2007-08
Presidential Merit
Awarded the Presidential Gold Medal for outstanding export volume growth, standardizing our grading.
2012
Fish Maw Silo Launch
Constructed highly sanitized solar-greenhouse drying tunnels for premium swim bladders.
2018
Digital Traceability
Launched barcoded digital tracing, integrating aquaculture farming groups directly with distribution hubs.
2026
Direct Transit Corridors
Establishing direct trade corridors into 8 targeted sovereign markets across East Asia and the Gulf.
"Turning East" Philosophy
Our strategic alignment towards primary Asian and Middle Eastern corridors is built on a deep understanding of regional culinary expectations. We recognize that Hong Kong chefs evaluate swim bladders differently than Shanghai processors, and that Kuwaiti importers require absolute Halal cold integrity. We adapt our grading, packaging, and certifications directly to these regional demands.
Motto & Core Creed
"Exceed Your Expectation"
We believe seafood trade is built on absolute transparency. By providing verifiable temperature records, clear weight specifications (Glazing as per requirement), and exact species naming, we strive to build multi-decade supply relationships.

The BASU Differentiator Checklist
We invite international seafood distributors to evaluate us against industry benchmarks. Our business model is engineered for long-term supply safety.
State-of-the-Art Freezing (Plate & IQF)
We process inside our two company-owned HACCP units, Plate, Blast & IQF using contact plate freezers (under 60 minutes to core temperature of -18°C) and tunnel IQF lines. No outsourcing to unverified packaging yards.
Strict Weight Guard (Anti-Glazing Ethics)
We guarantee exact net weights. If we specify 10% protective glaze, the shipping weight will be 110% of the net value. Importers only pay for actual seafood weight.
Flagship Fish Maw Control
Our dedicated solar-greenhouse facility is unique. Sourced solely from koth, jewfish, and eels caught by registered vessels. Triple graded to eliminate blood spot bladders.
Digital Traceability Access
Distributors receive a custom login mapping their container barcodes directly to GPS harvest locations, harvesting dates, and processing batches.
