Radius International would like to remind businesses that Chinese New Year is just around the corner, taking place from January 29th to February 2nd, 2025. While the official holiday spans one week, the broader impact on supply chains can last much longer.
Many factories in China shut down several days before the holiday to allow workers to travel home, and operations often restart gradually in the weeks following the celebration. This extended downtime can cause significant disruptions in production and shipping schedules.
Additionally, businesses should be aware of the seasonal surge in shipments leading up to the holiday, which typically results in higher costs and longer transit times. Companies relying on goods from China are advised to plan their logistics early to mitigate potential delays and cost increases.
Radius International encourages clients to consult with their local representatives to develop a proactive strategy, ensuring a smooth flow of goods during this busy season.
