五一劳动节5天小长假终于要来了，各位外贸人在搓手期待的同时，更是要考虑国外客户放假吗？放几天？要不要发个邮件告知一下返工时间？
不急，小编带你一览世界各国的五一放假时间表，看看放假前优秀外贸人的工作计划表。
一、五一劳动节，国外怎么放假？
全球仍在5月1日庆祝国际劳动节的国家包括大多数亚洲国家、欧洲国家、非洲国家，以及几乎全部拉丁美洲国家。
俄罗斯
俄罗斯五一劳动节放假三天。由于紧接着就是5月9日的胜利日，很多俄罗斯朋友会把每年的假期攒到这时候，一休假就是十多天。
日本
在日本，5月1日并没有被规定为劳动节。但是“五一”恰逢日本“黄金周”。节日多且日期集中，又碰上周六周日，很多企业就干脆实施连休，短则七天，最长可达11天。
法国
1947年，法国政府将5月1日规定为带薪休假日。在这天，法律禁止工作活动，并且不得减薪。在大城市中，工会还会组织游行活动。5月1日也是铃兰节，法国人会互赠铃兰。法国税务部门也特别批准，劳动节这天，铃兰花交易免除交易手续，并无需缴税。
澳大利亚
劳动节虽然是澳大利亚每个州都有的节日，但不同的州时间不一样。
首都领地、新南威尔士、南澳大利亚：设在10月第一个星期一；维多利亚、塔斯马尼亚：设在3月第二个星期一；西澳大利亚：设在3月第一个星期一；昆士兰、北领地：设在5月第一个星期一；圣诞岛：设在3月第四个星期一。
其他国家
五一劳动节作为国际性节日，全球80多个国家都会在这一天庆祝工人的贡献。英国、巴基斯坦、泰国、秘鲁、埃及、南非等国家享有一天的全国性休假。
不过五一劳动节的国家
以色列、韩国、丹麦、瑞士、荷兰、意大利等国并没有全国性的“五一”假期。
美国：五一国际劳动节发端于美国，但是，美国不过“五一”。为了避讳“干草市场惨案”，美国另行规定：每年9月的第一个星期一为劳动节，放假一天。
加拿大：劳动节在9月的第一个星期一。
新西兰：劳动节在每年10月的第四个星期一。
