Chinese New Year (CNY) is one of the biggest holidays in China, bringing a significant halt to manufacturing for almost six weeks. For cannabis oil processors and businesses relying on Chinese manufacturing, this can create major disruptions in the supply chain if not planned for properly. Canna Brand Solutions has prepared a timeline to help you stay ahead and avoid delays, ensuring smooth operations throughout the CNY period.
WHY IS CHINESE NEW YEAR IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
The CNY shutdown impacts all Chinese manufacturing, with factories closing for weeks as workers travel to celebrate with family. This holiday doesn’t just impact production; shipping logistics also experience backlogs and slowdowns, even after factories reopen, as they work to catch up with orders. For cannabis industry players relying on Chinese factories, this can mean delays lasting up to two months if orders aren’t placed on time.
2025 CNY ORDER DEADLINE
- November 6, 2024: Submit new designs by November 6. Missing this deadline will push your launch until April 2025 or later.
- December 6, 2024: Deadline for placing all orders (new or reorders) for pre-CNY shipments. Orders placed after this date are not guaranteed to ship before CNY.
- February 12, 2025: Post-CNY order shipments resume.
Adhering to these deadlines will help ensure your products are manufactured and shipped on time, keeping your supply chain steady and reliable.
TIPS FOR CANNABIS PROCESSORS TO AVOID CNY SUPPLY CHAIN NIGHTMARES
- Plan Ahead and Order Early: Make sure to place all orders before December 6, 2024, to avoid delays.
- Order Enough to Last Through March: Since production and shipping delays can extend even after CNY, order sufficient stock to cover the post-holiday catch-up period.
- Stay in Contact: Reach out to your supplier for updates on your order status. Communication is key to navigating this peak season.
