As the Lunar New Year gets closer, businesses that work with Asian markets should be prepared for production slowdowns that usually happen during the holiday. In 2025, the celebrations will start on January 29 and continue until February 11 with the Lantern Festival. Countries like China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan typically shut down for the holiday, with most employees returning to work by March.
To reduce interruptions, businesses should focus on important shipments, organize their logistics in advance, and think about other transportation methods such as air, rail, or trucking. It’s also a good idea to book freight well in advance, as air freight usually needs four to seven days’ notice and ocean freight can take six to eight weeks. Staying updated on local cut-off times and planning accordingly will help ensure everything runs smoothly during this busy time.
