Bluefields Aquatics exports marine ornamental fish from Kenya to importers, wholesalers and aquarium retailers in Singapore. As a licensed Indian Ocean exporter based at Mtwapa, Mombasa, we ship live saltwater fish to Singapore with full health and trade documentation, pure-oxygen packing and dead-on-arrival rates held below 2%. This page covers how shipments reach Singapore, what importers there need, and which species are in demand.
Shipping marine fish to Singapore
We ship to Singapore through Singapore Changi SIN, with a typical transit of ~22 hours via Qatar Airways via Doha. Marine fish travel by air freight from our two Kenyan gateways, Mombasa (MBA) and Nairobi (NBO), and we plan each consignment for the shortest reliable route to your airport — because transit time is the single biggest factor in arrival condition. You receive tracking and documents in advance so you can pre-clear customs and collect the box promptly. For more on routing, see our airline guide and international shipping page.
Import requirements for Singapore

As your exporter we prepare the origin-side documentation — KEPHIS health certification, the commercial invoice and packing list, and CITES export permits for any listed species. You are responsible for meeting Singapore’s own import requirements, and we will advise on what your destination is likely to need. Our CITES guide and importing guide walk through the full process. Always confirm current rules with your national authority, as requirements change.
