Envie os desenhos de fabricação para aprovação pelo menos duas semanas antes de um feriado prolongado – as análises param enquanto engenheiros e autoridades estão ausentes.
O desembaraço aduaneiro e a liberação de contêineres param nos feriados; armazenagem e demurrage continuam correndo. Programe o ETA para depois da pausa.
Custo de importação para South Africa →Locação de guindastes, licenças de transporte e acesso à obra ficam limitados perto dos feriados. Combine antecipadamente a sequência de montagem e as janelas de entrega.
Nossa fábrica planeja a produção em torno do Tết (Ano-Novo Lunar) e do Dia Nacional – fixamos as datas de entrega do seu projeto bem antes de ambos.
Solicitar cotação →As datas seguem as listas oficiais do governo, quando publicadas. Datas islâmicas e outras baseadas na observação da lua, bem como feriados ainda não oficializados para o próximo ano, são marcadas como "estimada" e podem mudar em um dia.
