Chinese New Year 2027 Sourcing Plan: Avoid Stockouts

Plan your Chinese New Year 2027 sourcing the smart way: a month-by-month buffer-stock timeline to beat factory shutdowns and avoid costly stockouts.

To survive Chinese New Year 2027, place your final factory orders 6 to 8 weeks before the holiday (CNY 2027 falls on February 17) and carry enough buffer stock to cover a 4 to 6 week production blackout.
