January ocean and air capacity reservations open for Amazon sellers before China's February 6 holiday pauses factories

Shenzhen, China, November 8, 2026 -- SHENZHEN, China – November 13, 2026 – FCLGO today opened January freight capacity reservations for Amazon sellers shipping from China ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday, which falls on February 6, 2027. The booking window addresses the annual pattern in which manufacturing output pauses across China's export regions while ocean and air capacity tightens in the weeks before the holiday.


Chinese New Year is the largest scheduled disruption in the China-to-United States shipping calendar. Factories across major export regions typically pause production for one to three weeks around the holiday, and many suppliers complete their final pre-holiday shipments in late January. At the same time, sellers rush to move inventory before factory closures, concentrating demand into a narrow window.


"Sellers who wait until January to think about February are booking from the leftover pool," said David Chen, Director of Operations at FCLGO. "The sellers who ship smoothly through every Chinese New Year share one habit: they reserve December and January capacity while calendars are still open, and they build restock plans around their factory's actual closure dates, not the public holiday alone."


The company's booking guidance for the 2027 holiday cycle: ocean shipments intended to depart before the pre-holiday rush should be reserved in December, with cargo ready in early January; air freight offers a shorter runway but faces its own space crunch from mid-January. Sellers combining modes — an ocean tranche for replenishment volume with an air tranche for cover stock — should anchor their plan to the ocean departure date, because amazon fba shipping cost differences between the two lanes usually decide how much inventory flies. The company's china freight forwarder guide covers factory holiday planning in detail.


Capacity planning also intersects with customs preparation. Since the suspension of the de minimis exemption, US commercial imports require formal duty assessment, and sellers using DDP shipping arrangements should factor HS classification and entry filing into their pre-holiday timelines.

Money over models: big fashion brand contracts seek range of AI rights

AI-generated fashion models present a tantalising opportunity for brands: the ability to create lifelike ⁠images for their retail websites while cutting costs by 90 per cent or more compared to photo shoots with human models. For the ⁠modelling industry, the technology poses an existential threat because of scant regulation governing the ownership or use of digital twins. Fashion models face the risk of unpaid replication of their image – or replacement by entirely synthetic models. Interviews...

Enter the anti-tote. From the runways of Paris to the digital streets of Substack and Instagram, fashion is experiencing a collective retreat into the exquisitely impractical.
