The time is fast approaching again for the Chinese National Holiday known as “The National Day Golden Week”.

From Saturday 1st – Friday 7th October 2023, China will be celebrating this holiday to mark the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. 

This will mean that most factories will close from the 1st or the days prior. The shipping lines/Port workers in China will also arrange some rest, however, this should not affect their operations.

As you know, when it comes to forwarding goods, it is more important now than ever to plan ahead. Make sure to get in touch ASAP for your shipping requirements before this shut-down period.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact one of our team.
