What happened?
TikTok Shop’s U.S. site published shipping preparation guidance on September 16, 2026, for sellers using TikTok Shipping Standard Delivery and Collection by TikTok (CBT). The guidance requires warehouse, inventory, weight, dimensions, and dangerous-goods information to be truthful, accurate, and kept up to date. Standard Delivery packages have a weight limit of 150 pounds, a longest-side limit of 108 inches, and a limit of 130 inches for the longest side plus twice the width and height. CBT packages have a weight limit of 50 pounds, a longest-side limit of 60 centimeters, and a limit of 150 centimeters for the sum of the three sides. For products containing batteries, battery capacity must be below 100Wh; otherwise, dangerous-goods handling requirements may apply. After a seller registers for TikTok Shipping, multi-warehouse configuration is automatically enabled on the account, and orders must be shipped from the correct warehouse. Sellers are responsible for related losses, fines, and fulfillment issues when warehouse addresses, inventory quantities, product weight or dimensions, or dangerous-goods classifications are inaccurate.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
TikTok Shop’s U.S. site requires TikTok Shipping and CBT sellers to continuously maintain warehouse, inventory, dimensions, weight, and dangerous-goods data. Sellers may bear losses, fines, and fulfillment issues caused by inaccurate information. Battery-powered, oversized, multi-warehouse, and semi-managed products require item-by-item checks before shipment.
What should sellers do now?
