What happened?
The peak-season rate adjustment for TikTok Shop U.S. Standard Delivery applies from October 5, 2026, through January 17, 2027. During the adjustment period, CBT cross-border transportation rates will remain unchanged, but some overweight or oversized packages in U.S. domestic last-mile delivery may incur new surcharges. Standard rates for the service start at $3.43 per shipment, and the platform automatically selects a carrier based on package weight, dimensions, and destination. Sellers can continue using existing warehouses and receive certain valid-tracking-rate and logistics-liability exemptions. Cross-border sellers shipping from U.S. warehouses, overseas-warehouse sellers, and sellers using TikTok Shipping labels need to recalculate dimensional weight, packaging dimensions, and per-order costs for livestream orders. Lightweight but bulky products, products using rigid packaging, or packages with inaccurately declared dimensions may see a significant increase in actual logistics costs during the peak season.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
From October 5, 2026, through January 17, 2027, TikTok Shop U.S. Standard Delivery may add surcharges for certain overweight or oversized packages in U.S. domestic last-mile delivery, while CBT cross-border transportation rates remain unchanged.
