When shipping from Shenzhen, China to Manzanillo, Mexico, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for potential port congestion and weather disruptions, particularly during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Secure vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid capacity shortages. Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal storms and congestion.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air.
