When shipping from Zhongshan, China to Montevideo, Uruguay, account for the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in buffer days for potential delays due to heavy rainfall and port congestion, especially during peak periods (June-September). Book vessel space well in advance, particularly around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February), to reduce the risk of rollovers and extended dwell times.
