China Golden Week Holidays

28th August, 2024

The weeklong holiday will be from 1st to 7th October, 2024. For all importers it is important that you have engagement with your suppliers soonest, they will be closed during this period. If there are orders, you are wanting to be finished and booked prior to the holidays please share the order details with the SCC customer service team ASAP. 

This represents one of the longest public holiday periods in the Chinese calendar and is often a time when many people take the opportunity to travel and visit family. It is therefore not surprising that Golden Week can sometimes extend to 2-3 weeks of closing for some companies. Nearly all companies, government agencies, and schools will be closed for this week.

As is always the case, with these peak times we request that you give us as much notice as possible of your shipment plans so we can endeavour to secure space on your nominated vessel. Please also encourage your suppliers to make cargo available as early as possible as transport may not be accessible if they leave it too late.

We are being advised that shipping lines will be increasing blank sailings post the holiday period, this will result in fewer sailings. As production ramps up on return from holidays we are hopeful that the blank sailings will reduce, allowing for the increased peak season volumes.
