When shipping from Shenzhen to Miami, anticipate significant delays due to East Asia's rainy season (May-November), particularly during peak rainfall months (June-September). Secure vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (September 20-October 7) to avoid congestion. Additionally, allow for extra buffer days during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) to accommodate potential weather disruptions. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate risks associated with seasonal factors.
