As a licensed Indian Ocean exporter based at Mtwapa, Mombasa, we ship live saltwater fish to Bulgaria with full health and trade documentation, pure-oxygen packing and dead-on-arrival rates held below 2%. This page covers how shipments reach Bulgaria, what importers there need, and which species are in demand.
Shipping marine fish to Bulgaria
We ship to Bulgaria through Sofia SOF, with a typical transit of ~18 hours via Turkish Airlines via Istanbul IST. 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.
