2025 Ramadan Period: Logistics Delay Warning and Emergency Customs Clearance Plan

From the end of March to early April 2025, as Muslim countries around the world enter Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, the supply chains in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia will enter the annual "slowdown period."

Reduced customs staff, fierce competition for flight cargo space, and a wave of manufacturing shutdowns—Is your cargo ready to withstand these risks?

As an emergency logistics expert serving over 100 multinational companies, Shanghai Baiyue International Logistics Co., Ltd. has in-depth insights into the golden rules for avoiding logistics risks during Ramadan and has launched an emergency response system for OBC (Hand Carry), NFO (Priority Booking), and chartered flights to help customers achieve zero customs clearance delays and a 40% improvement in transportation efficiency.
