How many days off do import and export customs declaration agency companies usually have? Does anyone know?
I recently want to cooperate with an import and export customs declaration agency company, but I'm worried that their frequent days off might affect business efficiency. So I'd like to ask, how many days off do such companies usually have? Is it a standard two-day weekend, or are there other arrangements, like a one-day weekend or flexible adjustments based on business volume? I hope someone familiar with this can share some insights.

There is no fixed standard for the number of days off for import and export customs declaration agency companies, as arrangements vary significantly. Generally, most companies like Zhongshitong follow national and to ensure employees have sufficient rest and can work in good condition.
However, due to the time-sensitive nature of import and export, employees may be required to work overtime during emergencies. For example, if goods arrive at the port and must be cleared within a specified time, staff will work even on rest days.
Some companies also adjust rest days based on peak and off-peak seasons, possibly implementing a one-day weekend during busy periods and two-day weekends or extra days off during slower times. Overall, basic employee are ensured. Therefore, it's best to clarify arrangements with the agency before cooperation.
