Our business in Japan is seasonal. Shipping in spring starts in March, the last shipment will depart from japan the first week of July.

Before March fish are too weak to ship and due to heavy snow some facilities cannot be accessed. After July stocks are sold out and high temperatures make shipping risky. Our shipments are scheduled on fax dates. In this way everyone know when shipments can be expected and when we need to receive orders.

Destinations included on every shipment are: Amsterdam, London and Frankfurt. Often destinations in Europe such as Manchester, Berlin, Paris, Zurich, Copenhagen, Barcelona and Milan can be included. Also shipment to New York can depart on the same dates. Any other destinations can be served on request.

Prior to changes in dates

Please take note of closing dates for shipments, these dates are imperative, we can not accept any order to ensure best conditions in shipping. Apart from our constant checking all entries are checked on availability and health conditions 3 times prior to packing and shipping.

All our koi are doubled bagged and packed in sturdy cardboard sealed cartons. All cartons are sufficiently labelled: with packing time, number packed, variety, destination and further event information. All shipments are effected from our packing station and transported in temperature controlled trucks to Narita airport. At Narita airport all cartons are stored in temperature controlled rooms prior to departure of aircraft and checked a final time before being loaded into temperature controlled holds on to the aircraft. In case of high outside temperatures dry ice is added. You will be informed by your local distributor on exact arrival time of shipment and further requirements.
