When shipping from Shekou, China to Port Klang, Malaysia, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days to account for port congestion and weather disruptions, particularly during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Secure vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to avoid rollovers.
