China's National Holiday will be observed from September 30th to October 7th, 2012 with businesses being closed for the duration of the holidays.

Chinese manufacturers will be adjusting their production schedules to ensure their orders are complete and booked on an ocean voyage to the final destination prior to the holiday closures. As a result, a surge in export bookings from Asia prior to the holiday is expected. Expeditors customers are encouraged to work closely with local Expeditors representatives to communicate upcoming shipments.
