Plan and Book Shipments in Advance for CNY 2025

As the Chinese New Year (CNY) 2025 approaches, we want to provide you with essential updates and proactive strategies to help you navigate potential disruptions to shipments and customs operations during this busy period.

Holiday Schedule

The Chinese New Year holiday will be observed from January 28th to February 4th, 2025. Additionally, logistics companies in China, including our partner agents, have confirmed they will resume operations on February 10th, 2025.

Key Implications to Consider

High Demand Period:

CNY is a peak season for shipping, leading to a surge in freight prices.

Container Shortages:

High shipment volumes may lead to a scarcity of available empty containers, causing delays and possible shipment issues.

Production and Logistics Delays:

Factory closures and workforce reductions during the holiday could cause delays in production and shipment processing.

Recommended Actions to Minimize Impact

To ensure the smooth handling of your shipments, we recommend taking the following steps well in advance:

  • Advance Planning: Early bookings will secure your shipping slots and help you avoid potential price hikes.
  • Pre-Book Vessel Space: Reserve container space early to ensure timely shipment.
  • Leverage Inventory Data: Use inventory analytics to optimize stock management and prepare for potential delays or shortages.
  • Adjust Budgets and Timelines: Anticipate price increases and delays, and update your budgets and delivery timelines accordingly.
