      "heading": "Why Golden Week matters",
      "body": "Golden Week can pause factory production, reduce office response, tighten carrier capacity, and create a backlog before and after the holiday. Sellers who wait until the last week often lose routing options."

      "heading": "Plan backward from stockout",
      "body": "Start with the date inventory must be sellable at Amazon, then work backward through receiving buffer, delivery appointment, customs, vessel or flight schedule, export cutoff, warehouse handling, and factory pickup."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Prioritize SKUs",
      "body": "Separate urgent SKUs from slow movers. Send the high-risk quantity first if needed, and move less urgent inventory after the holiday when capacity and warehouse flow stabilize."

    {
      "heading": "Document checklist",
      "body": "Confirm commercial invoice, packing list, carton labels, FBA shipment labels, product descriptions, declared value, HS codes, battery or hazmat documents, and pickup details before offices close."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Post-holiday reality",
      "body": "The first days after the holiday can be slower than normal because factories, warehouses, truckers, customs brokers, and carriers are clearing backlog. Build that into promises to your marketplace team."

    "Holiday dates, factory closures, and carrier cutoffs should be confirmed every year.",
