China National Day 2026 Holiday Notice

China National Day 2026 falls on Thursday, October 1, and the national holiday runs from October 1 to October 7 - seven consecutive days. Our office closes for that period and reopens on Thursday, October 8. Sales, technical support and WhatsApp stay monitored throughout, and October 10, a Saturday, is a working day in China. The one date to act on is September 30: the last working day before the break, and the cut-off for shipping documentation.

China National Day 2026: Dates and Office Schedule

The schedule below follows the State Council General Office's State Council notice on China's public holidays for 2026. A second listing of the same arrangement is available in this China public holiday calendar.

The Official Holiday Arrangement

National Day falls on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The holiday covers October 1 to October 7 inclusive - seven days - with two make-up working days set for Sunday, September 20 and Saturday, October 10. The September date has already passed. The October date applies nationwide and falls straight after the break, which is why our suppliers and freight partners treat it as part of the same cycle.

Key Dates at a Glance

• Monday September 28 – Wednesday September 30 - normal working days
• Thursday October 1 – Wednesday October 7 - holiday; office closed
• Thursday October 8 - normal operations resume
• Saturday October 10 - designated working day

What Stays Open, and What Slows Down

Two things behave differently over a break of this length: the channels you can reach us on, and the third-party chain that moves your goods.

Support Channels That Remain Open

Email, phone and WhatsApp are monitored every day of the holiday, October 1 to 7 included. Enquiries arriving during the break are logged on arrival and answered in priority order once the office reopens on October 8. If a production line is down - a coating head fault, a winding tension problem, a sealing parameter out of spec - call the technical support line rather than sending an email, so that a duty engineer can respond directly. All routes reach the same team through our contact our team page.

Steps That Slow Down Across the Break

Export documentation, customs clearance, third-party inspection and freight consolidation around Xiamen and Shenzhen all follow the national calendar, so they pause at roughly the same moment we do. Our own production schedule is not affected by the holiday; it is this external chain that sets the pace for anything leaving the country.

Shipping and Documentation Cut-Off: September 30

If a shipment has to leave China before the holiday, one date decides whether it makes it.

What to Send Before the Break

Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and any inspection booking your buyer requires need to reach us by Wednesday, September 30. A request sent on September 30 travels with the last outbound paperwork of the month; the same request sent on October 8 queues behind everything that accumulated during the seven days we were closed.

After Operations Resume

Normal service returns on Thursday, October 8. The first days back are usually the busiest, as documentation and cargo built up over the week work through the chain. Booking inspection and freight slots early in October rather than late in the month is generally the calmer choice.

Orders, Production, and Engineering During the Holiday

Equipment in Production Keeps Its Schedule

Nothing already in build is delayed by the holiday itself. Assembly and testing follow a pre-planned shift arrangement, so committed delivery dates stand. New purchase orders placed between October 1 and October 7 are registered on receipt, but may not be formally acknowledged until the office reopens.

Send Specifications and Drawings Before September 30

Teams finalising a battery production line solutions should send utility data, factory layout and material specifications before the break. Engineering review can then start without interruption on October 8, instead of spending the first week back gathering information that could have travelled with the order.

National Day 2026: Frequently Asked Questions

When is China's National Day 2026, and how long is the holiday?

Thursday, October 1, 2026 - a seven-day public holiday covering October 1 to October 7 inclusive. Operations resume on Thursday, October 8, and Saturday, October 10 is a designated working day.

Will my order or shipment be delayed?

Production already committed is not affected. Anything depending on customs, third-party inspection or freight forwarders should be expected to move more slowly between October 1 and October 7, which is why the September 30 documentation cut-off matters.

How do I reach TOB NEW ENERGY during the holiday?

Email and WhatsApp are monitored every day of the break. Urgent line-down issues should go by phone to the technical support line so a duty engineer responds directly. Commercial enquiries are logged and answered once the office reopens on October 8.

Contact and Next Steps

To reach the right person, use the contact page above - it routes your message to the engineer responsible for your region or application rather than to a shared inbox.

Companies interested in representing TOB equipment in their own market can start with our Global Distributor Program; applications received during the break are read on October 8. Background on our equipment range, factory and certifications is in the company overview.
