It's time to get ready for Chinese New Year 2024
Chinese New Year is one of the most important holidays in the Chinese calendar, and it's also a major time for shipping disruptions. In 2024, the Chinese New Year will fall on February 10th, and factories and businesses across China will be closed for up to two weeks.
This means that if you're shipping goods from China, it's important to book your shipments well in advance. Otherwise, you risk your shipments being delayed or even cancelled.
Here are a few tips for booking your shipments around Chinese New Year:
- Book your shipments as early as possible. The earlier you book, the more likely you are to get your shipment on time.
- Be flexible with your shipping dates. If possible, avoid shipping during the peak Chinese New Year period (February 10th-17th).
