Chinese New Year Is Almost Upon Us – Think Now to Avoid Delays.
The first day of Chinese New Year 2012 (Chun Jie / 春节 2012) will be celebrated on Monday, 23 January 2012 and the festival will usually last for as long as 15 days, till the February 6, 2012.
During this period there are reduced officials at ports and airports and delays can be experienced for customers moving to China due to clearance through the ports being delayed.
It is always best to plan to ship effects to China to arrive prior to the holiday period or hold shipments until after the celebrations have finished.
