What happened?
The TikTok Shop U.S. CBT limited-time promotion will end at 23:59:59 Pacific Time on September 30, 2026. Eligible sellers previously received a $0.50 shipping discount per CBT package in Zones 1 through 4. The promotion generally applied to sellers using CBT, Seller Shipping, or TikTok Shipping, but sellers had to enroll as required by the platform or meet a threshold of at least 200 packages per day for a store or a group of certified stores. The shipping discount was not confirmed directly based on the order time; it was settled after a package reached a final status such as Delivered, returned_to_shipper, or package_completed. For high-volume cross-border sellers, continuing to calculate shipping costs at the discounted rate after the promotion ends may distort gross-margin assessments.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
After the promotion ends at 23:59:59 on September 30, 2026, U.S. CBT packages in Zones 1 through 4 may no longer receive the $0.50 discount per package. Recalculate shipping costs and product margins. Because the discount is settled only after a package reaches a final status, high-volume stores should not determine actual costs solely by order time.
What should sellers do now?
