TikTok Shop Updates Late Shipment Rate Calculation Rules
TikTok Shop has adjusted the calculation logic for late shipment rates (LDR) to include orders that are "not shipped on time," further strengthening monitoring of fulfillment timeliness. Sellers need to optimize inventory management and shipping processes before penalties take effect in July.
What are the key facts?
- 1Effective date: June 15, 2026
- 2New calculation formula: (Overdue orders + Not shipped on time orders) ÷ Total orders during assessment period
- 3Penalties to be formally implemented in July
What happened?
TikTok Shop updated the LDR calculation rules to enhance fulfillment transparency. The new rules combine overdue shipments and orders that were not shipped on time for assessment. While the new regulations will take effect on June 15, relevant penalties will start to be enforced in July.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers must closely monitor inventory accuracy, prioritize processing older orders (FIFO principle), and ensure complete logistics pickup records to avoid potential damage to store ratings due to untimely fulfillment.
