Season planning

Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so the ordering window shifts with it — a calendar that worked last season is already wrong for the next one. For Ramadan 2027, which begins on 8 February 2027, a container order has to be confirmed by the end of October 2026.

The arithmetic is fixed: about 40 days of production counted from deposit and artwork approval, plus 30–40 days at sea to Europe, plus the two to three weeks most buyers want on the shelf before the first fast. Change the sailing time for your own port and the same working-backwards method still holds.

Missing the window does not mean the season is lost — it means the constraint moves from production to transport, and air or rail costs more per cubic metre. Tell us the date you need the goods and we will say which quantities and which shipping modes are realistic before you commit.
