Sourcing from China: Avoid Chinese New Year factory closures | Global Trade Explained

Описание: Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival is any sourcing department's worst nightmare. Every year factories in China close for almost a month during Lunar New Year. As many supply chains around the world rely on importing products from China, the yearly factory shutdowns have a significant impact.

Whether you work for a huge brand, or you just started a small business selling products on Amazon, you need to know how to plan ahead to avoid delays due to Chinese New Year.

In this new episode of Global Trade Explained, besides focusing on how your business can avoid the factory closures during Chinese New Year, we will also look into customs and social factors.

As we will see in this mini documentary, Chinese New Year also has a big impact on cargo and shipping worldwide. Besides shipping delays, it also is the cause of the biggest yearly human migration in history. Chunyun as it is called in Chinese, is the period of high traffic in China when people from all over the country (and abroad) return to their homes.

Spring festival is also celebrated in other Asian countries, including Vietnam, because both countries use the Lunar Calendar. Tết as it is called in Vietnam, short for (Tết Nguyên Đán) has almost the same repercussions for the manufacturing industry there too.

We hope you will find this video useful, and would really like to know if you have any questions.
