China National Day 2026 begins on Thursday, October 1. Our Xiamen office is closed for the whole of the national holiday, October 1 through October 7, and opens again on Thursday, October 8. Saturday, October 10 is a designated working day nationwide.
For anyone with an order in progress, one date matters more than the rest: Wednesday, September 30. It is the final working day before the shutdown, and the deadline for getting outbound shipping documents in front of the right people. What follows covers quotations, customs, freight, and the engineers who pick up the phone.
China National Day 2026: The Dates That Govern Your Order
The 2026 arrangement is fixed by the State Council General Office. The full text is published as the State Council notice on China’s public holidays for 2026, and the same schedule is listed in this China public holiday calendar. Both are worth a look if your own planning calendar follows China rather than your home market.
How the Three Weeks Run
September 28 to September 30 are ordinary working days in Xiamen — three clear days to move anything that cannot wait.
China National Day 2026 itself runs from October 1 to October 7. Offices, banks, customs counters and most freight forwarders across mainland China stop at the same moment, which is why a short holiday still reshapes a month of shipping.
October 8, a Thursday, opens the next working cycle. October 10 rounds out that week as a make-up working day.
Why the Saturday Matters
A make-up day is easy to overlook and expensive to miss. Two were designated alongside China National Day 2026. The first, Sunday September 20, has already passed. The second falls on Saturday October 10, two days after the office reopens, and it is the earliest realistic slot for a fresh inspection booking or a confirmed freight departure without competing for staff who are still clearing the backlog.
Reaching Us During China National Day 2026
Two things move at different speeds across a break of this length: the ways you can reach us, and the outside chain that carries your goods.
Email, Phone and WhatsApp
All three stay monitored for the full seven days of China National Day 2026, October 1 to 7 included. Messages that arrive while the office is shut are time-stamped and queued, then worked through in the order they arrived once we reopen on October 8. Nothing is lost; responses simply carry the delay.
Duty Cover for Line-Down Calls
If a production line stops, telephone the technical support number rather than writing to it. A duty engineer answers directly. Typical calls through the break are coating-head faults, winding tension drift and sealing parameters running out of specification — problems where a same-day answer decides whether a shift is lost.
Every route reaches the same team, and their details sit on our contact page alongside the regional agents in India, Korea, Türkiye and Australia, who work to their own national calendars rather than China’s.

The September 30 Documentation Cut-Off
Export paperwork and freight capacity are the two things that cannot be recovered once the holiday starts.
What Has to Be With Us Before the Break
Whatever your buyer needs in order to clear the goods — commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, inspection booking — has to be with us by Wednesday, September 30, the final working day before China National Day 2026. Paperwork received that day leaves with the month’s last outbound batch. The identical request arriving on October 8 queues behind everything that accumulated while the office was shut.
What October 8 Looks Like
Service is back to normal the following Thursday, October 8. The opening days are the busiest of the quarter, as documentation and cargo held over the week work through customs and the forwarders at once. Buyers who book inspection and freight slots in the first half of October generally have a calmer month than those who leave it to the last week.
Orders, Production, and Factory Schedules
Nothing already committed is held up by China National Day 2026 itself.
Lines Already in Build
Assembly and testing run on a pre-agreed shift pattern, so every delivery date already promised still stands. Purchase orders that arrive between October 1 and October 7 are logged the moment they land, though formal acknowledgement waits until the office reopens.
Specifications That Arrive During the Break
Anyone assembling a battery production line solution should get utility data, plant layout and material specifications to us before the shutdown. Engineering review then opens on October 8, rather than being spent chasing details that could have arrived with the order.
China National Day 2026: Questions Buyers Ask
When exactly does the holiday begin and end?
China National Day 2026 begins on Thursday, October 1. The public holiday covers seven days, October 1 through October 7, and work resumes on Thursday, October 8. October 10, a Saturday, is treated as a normal business day.
Will my shipment slip?
Anything already in production keeps its committed date. Consignments that rely on customs, third-party inspection or a freight forwarder will move more slowly for the duration of the break, which is the whole reason for the September 30 cut-off.
Who answers during the break?
Email and WhatsApp are read on every day of the break. Line-down issues go by phone, so a duty engineer handles them rather than a shared inbox. Sales and partnership enquiries are picked up again from October 8.
Before You Close Your Own Office
TOBGROUP serves more than 8,000 customers in over 100 countries and regions, and a seven-day pause on our side is usually felt on someone else’s schedule. Two habits keep a project moving through it.
The first is sending drawings, order numbers and delivery targets before September 30. Anything in our engineers’ hands by then can be reviewed while the office is shut, so October 8 begins with decisions rather than information gathering.
The second is knowing who to call. Buyers in India, Korea, Türkiye and Australia have a regional agent closer to their own working hours, and the details sit at the foot of our contact page. For everyone else, the duty rotation covers the break.
Companies that want to represent TOB equipment in their own market can start with our Global Distributor Program; applications received during the break are read on October 8. If you would rather see the wider picture first, our company overview sets out the equipment range, the factory and the certificates behind it.
