How to Plan Seasonal Décor Imports from China

Practical guidance for professional home-product buyers.

Seasonal products have a fixed selling window, so planning production and shipping around the retail date is especially important.

Start with the selling window

Work backward from the date the goods need to be available, allowing time for sampling, production, QC, export and transit.

Build the assortment early

Seasonal ranges can involve many SKUs. Finalize the assortment and specifications before production capacity becomes constrained.

Confirm packaging

Seasonal displays often depend on presentation. Confirm protective packaging, labels and carton marks early.

Plan replenishment realistically

Made-to-order production may require meaningful lead time, so don't assume a late-season reorder can be delivered immediately.

Explore Christmas, Halloween and Autumn collections or request seasonal catalogs.
