The koi season in Europe has started. Malaysia ships lots of koi to European countries like UK, Germany and Holland. We shipped our 1st overseas shipment in 2007 to Germany on 26 March and just got feedback from our customer.
To quote his exact words from an email he sent this evening, "The Koi arrived in a very good condition and they are VERY (!) nice. We like the Koi a lot and we are very satisfied."
Seeing to an overseas shipment is always a difficult task. It is never easy for two parties to match up on koi quality, but somehow in this case we managed to. Why? It is just adequate upfront preparation and communication between us and the German customer who was buying great volume from Thailand for many years. Thailand had been hit by the terrible KHV virus which wiped out all their koi.
So keeping your koi healthy in your pond is a very important part in koi keeping. Adequate quarantine of your newly purchased koi before letting them into your main koi pond is a must, just in case as in most cases one cannot tell a koi has KHV viruses. Take great care, always.
