China offices will be closed for a national holiday from February 4th – February 10th.

Hong King offices will be closed for a national holiday from February 5th to February 7th.

What you can do to prepare:

1. Shipping space prior to the holiday is tight. Make bookings of shipping space ahead of time.

2. Check factory operation times and dates. Many factories will be closed for an extended time both before and after the   holiday. Check with your factory for operating times.

3. Inform your transporter of estimated volumes to ship prior to the holiday.

4. Plan transport from factory ahead of time. There will be a shortage of truck capacity.

5. Prepare for the possibility of using alternative carriers.

6. Check with your logistics partner about after holiday schedules. Many carriers will have blank sailings.
