China will observe its Golden Week holiday from 1st - 8th October 2025, commemorating the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. This year, the National Day holiday coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, leading to increased domestic travel, heavy demand on transport systems, and reduced operational capacity across China.
During this period, most factories, trucking services, and logistics operations will shut down, resulting in port congestion before and after the holiday. We advise clients to plan ahead and book early to secure freight space and competitive rates. The weeks leading up to Golden Week typically see a surge in shipping demand, limited carrier availability, and rising costs across both sea and air freight channels.
Please contact your suppliers to have your orders ready for shipping asap before the holidays. If Omega is shipping your orders, we will also pushing to secure space and best rates before and after the holidays.
