Short answer: Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, and China's Spring Festival holiday runs 5–13 February 2027. The last workday before the holiday is 30 January, but factory capacity often drops from mid-January as staff travel home, so order early. For Ramadan wholesale Islamic gifts shipped by sea, retailers should place orders with Equantu by about 30 November 2026. Air shipments can be ordered until about 20 December. Zikr ring MOQ is 100 units for iTasbeeh brand distribution and 1,000 for OEM; Quran speakers start from 1,000 units. Production is typically 25–30 days. A few A-class models may have partial stock for quicker dispatch, but even those should be pre-ordered.

Why Ramadan 2027 is earlier and tighter than usual
Ramadan 2027 is tight because it starts only two days after Chinese New Year. The Islamic calendar moves about 11 days earlier each year, and in 2027 the start of Ramadan (around 8 February) falls inside China's official Spring Festival holiday (5–13 February). Factories, trucking firms and many forwarders slow down before that holiday and ramp up again after it.
Equantu's last workday before the holiday is 30 January 2027, but from mid-January many staff leave for the holiday and factory capacity drops. Order early enough that production can finish before that slowdown, and ship before the holiday. Production resumes after the holiday; an order placed after the holiday will typically finish production in mid-to-late March, which is after Eid (expected around 9 March).
For a retailer this means one simple rule: anything you want to sell during Ramadan or for Eid al-Fitr 2027 must leave China before the Spring Festival holiday.
Ramadan wholesale timeline: back-planned order dates
Work backwards from the date your stock must be on the shelf or in your marketplace warehouse, not from the first day of Ramadan. Shoppers buy Ramadan gifts in the weeks before the month starts, and Eid gifts during the month.
| Step | Sea freight route | Air freight route |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Confirm models, sizes, colours and quantity | By ~20 Nov 2026 | By ~10 Dec 2026 |
| 2. Pay deposit, order enters production | By ~30 Nov 2026 | By ~20 Dec 2026 |
| 3. Production (25–30 days) | ~1 Dec – 30 Dec | ~21 Dec – 20 Jan |
| 4. Inspection and shipment | Late Dec / early Jan | ~20–25 Jan |
| 5. Transit | Sea 25–35 days | Air 5–11 days |
| 6. Arrival, customs, listing | Late Jan 2027 | Late Jan 2027 |
| 7. Ramadan starts | ~8 Feb 2027 | ~8 Feb 2027 |
These dates are a planning estimate. Customs clearance, marketplace warehouse check-in and local holidays add time in your market, so build in a buffer of one to two weeks. Freight capacity out of China also tightens in the weeks before the Spring Festival, so book transport as soon as your production date is fixed.
From mid-January, factory capacity often drops as staff travel home for the Spring Festival, even though the last workday is 30 January. Aim to finish production before that slowdown. This matters most for air-freight orders, whose production window runs into January.
Brand stock and OEM both work for Ramadan 2027, if you order early enough. iTasbeeh brand ring orders (from 100 units) can go into production as soon as the order is confirmed, so they are the faster path. A private-label (OEM) order needs a sample first: sampling usually takes 15–25 days, then production takes 25–30 days after sample approval. Started today, a new OEM project would typically need air freight to arrive before Ramadan, with little margin, so OEM buyers should start now and allow extra time. See Tasbih Ring OEM & Private Label for the OEM process.

How to sell SalamTouch for Ramadan and Eid
SalamTouch is the clearest seasonal story in the iTasbeeh range. On the Daily Ring SQ905, a user taps the ring 4 times to send a short Salam to another Daily Ring SQ905, Ring to Ring. The receiving ring vibrates and shows the message. The iTasbeeh Salam app has 10 preset Salam messages, including RAMADAN KAREEM and EID MUBARAK.
That makes the Daily Ring SQ905 a natural two-ring gift: for a couple, a parent and child, or two friends. Retailers can bundle two rings for Ramadan and Eid. Dedicated pair and family gift boxes are not standard yet; they can be designed and sampled for larger orders, but allow sampling time.
On the Salam Ring SQ666, SalamTouch is planned for November–December 2026 through a firmware and app update, and rings already sold can get it through the same update. Until it is released, describe SalamTouch on SQ666 as "coming", not available. The SQ968 wristband does not support SalamTouch. Read more in What Is SalamTouch? and the model comparison.
How much stock, and which sizes?
Order by size, not just by model. Rings are sold in fixed sizes, so the size mix decides how much of your stock actually sells.
- SQ905 comes in Rose Gold (US 7–9) and Matte Black (US 9–13), and each size is a separate SKU. Plan the rose gold sizes for smaller hands and the matte black sizes for larger hands.
- SQ666 is available in US 8–13 in Black, Gold and Silver.
- Sizes and colours can be mixed within one order, subject to the per-model MOQ.
- If you are unsure of your size curve, ask our sales team for a recommended size mix. The retailer listing kit includes listing copy and photo packs, and you can start with a smaller brand ring order from 100 units.
Risks to plan for before Ramadan 2027
- Factory capacity from mid-January. The last workday before the Spring Festival is 30 January 2027, but from mid-January many workers go home and output falls. Finish production before that slowdown where you can, and do not leave orders until late January.
- Freight capacity before the Spring Festival. Space out of China is tight in January. Book sea or air freight as soon as production dates are fixed.
- Customs and marketplace check-in. Allow extra days for clearance and warehouse receiving in your market, especially for marketplace fulfilment centres in January.
- Compliance documents. Ask for the CE, FCC and RoHS documents for your exact models and market before you ship, not after. For OEM orders the customer usually handles its own certification, or can pay Equantu to help.
- Moon sighting. Ramadan and Eid can start a day later than the calculated dates. Plan promotions with a one-day buffer.
- Re-orders during Ramadan. Because production resumes only after the holiday, a mid-Ramadan re-order will usually arrive after Eid. Order enough for the whole season up front.
FAQ
When should retailers order Ramadan 2027 stock from China? For sea freight, place the order and deposit by about 30 November 2026. For air freight, order by about 20 December 2026. Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February, and China's Spring Festival holiday runs 5–13 February. The last workday before the holiday is 30 January, but factory capacity often drops from mid-January, so goods should be produced and shipped before that slowdown and the holiday.
What is the MOQ for Ramadan wholesale orders? For zikr rings, iTasbeeh brand distribution starts from 100 units per model, and OEM or private-label orders start from 1,000 units. Sizes and colours can be mixed within one ring order. Quran speakers start from 1,000 units. Production typically takes 25–30 days after the order is confirmed, or after sample approval for OEM orders.
Can I still get private-label zikr rings for Ramadan 2027? Yes, if you start early. Brand stock and OEM both work for Ramadan 2027. iTasbeeh brand ring orders can go into production as soon as the order is confirmed, so they are the faster path. OEM orders need a sample first, which usually takes 15–25 days, then 25–30 days of production after approval. Started in November, an OEM order would typically need air freight to arrive before Ramadan, so begin now and allow extra time.
Does SalamTouch have Ramadan and Eid messages? Yes. The iTasbeeh Salam app has 10 preset Salam messages, including RAMADAN KAREEM and EID MUBARAK. SalamTouch works today on the iTasbeeh Daily Ring SQ905. It is planned for the Salam Ring SQ666 in November–December 2026 through a firmware and app update, including rings already sold.
Can I order Eid al-Fitr stock after Chinese New Year? Usually not in time. Production resumes after China's Spring Festival holiday (5–13 February 2027) and then takes 25–30 days, so goods ordered after the holiday would typically be ready in mid-to-late March. Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected around 9 March, so order Eid stock together with Ramadan stock before the holiday.
