Thank you for using our services.

The Chinese New Year is almost here. I think there are many Japanese users of ApparelX who are expanding into China, so when is the Chinese New Year period? I think this is an important point that you should definitely know, so I would like to share information about the Chinese New Year.

Impact of Chinese New Year on entering China

Since Chinese New Year is a long holiday in China, purchasing and customer stores such as Alibaba and Taobao will be closed.

Not only that, but product manufacturing factories and transportation companies will also be suspended. In other words, business in China as a whole will be suspended and no purchases will be made during this period.

Labor Day in May and National Day in October are also major holidays in China. please note.

2023 Chinese New Year period

Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. It refers to New Year's Day in the lunar calendar, and mainly refers to January 1st. It is not only a holiday in China, but also in countries such as Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

The 2023 Chinese New Year period will be from January 21st to 27th. (China's Labor Day in May and National Day in October follow the Western calendar.)

SF express business hours during Chinese New Year period

I think many companies expanding into China use the services of SF express logistics company. ApparelX Global also uses the SF express service for China.

We would like to share SF express's business hours for Chinese New Year in 2023.

SF Express will continue to operate normally in Japan, but due to the closure of import and export customs clearance operations in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, there will be delays in local collection and delivery services. Please see below for the schedule for some Chinese gateways.
