This is a first pass, not a complete map of the market. Absence of a record here is not evidence that nothing applies. Nothing in this brief carries a named expert's judgement yet, so every reading is a document or a measurement, never somebody's experience of selling here.
Not fatal. Enough to make a launch feel harder than it should.

Timor-Leste has 18 public holidays in the twelve months from 2026-09-09, against a Saturday and Sunday weekend. The longest continuous shutdown in the next twelve months runs 4 days, 2026-10-31 to 2026-11-03.
Shipping, customs clearance and retail activation all stop on these days, and the long runs are where launches die.
