Collection: Japan Fall Harvest 2025

Purchase your koi before it arrives in the U.S. — each one hand-selected in Japan from renowned breeders. Limited availability, premium bloodlines — the best are often secured before they reach our ponds.

How Pre-Arrival Purchase Works

Purchase Now: Secure your koi by completing checkout online — once purchased, your koi is exclusively yours before it arrives at our facility.
Quarantine Completion Date (QCD): The date your koi completes ChampKoi’s professional health screening and is cleared for pickup or shipment.
ChampKoi Quarantine: All pre-arrival koi undergo careful acclimation, observation, and health checks to ensure peak condition before release.

Key Dates

Pre-Arrival Purchase Window: Open during Japan’s Fall Harvest, when new koi are added regularly as we hand-select and purchase them during our buying trip.
Arrival to ChampKoi: Incoming koi enter our controlled quarantine system upon arrival in the U.S.
QCD: Listed on each koi’s product page.
Pickup or Shipping: Available on or after the QCD.

FAQs

Where can I find my koi’s QCD?
Each koi’s product page lists its Quarantine Completion Date. Pickup or shipping is available starting that date.

Can I request a later arrival date?
Yes — choose your Preferred Arrival Date (PAD) at checkout or contact us to adjust after ordering.

What if I purchase multiple pre-arrival koi?
We’ll consolidate shipments when possible and refund any shipping savings automatically.

Weather concerns?
We monitor shipping conditions daily. If a delay is needed for your koi’s safety, your Live Arrival Guarantee remains fully valid.

Each koi is one-of-a-kind and removed from availability the moment it’s purchased. To ensure fairness for all customers, orders canceled or modified more than 24 hours after confirmation incur a 15% restocking fee.
