What happened?
The latest Collection by TikTok logistics guidance for TikTok Shop U.S. lists effective surcharges for weight, dimensions, and special handling. Starting October 5, 2026, packages with an actual weight exceeding 50 pounds may incur a $10.15 surcharge per package, while packages exceeding 100 pounds may incur a surcharge of up to $79.99 per package. For dimensions, packages with a longest side exceeding 48 inches, or a volume exceeding 10,368 cubic inches, may incur a $10.15 fee per package. If the longest side exceeds 96 inches, or volume exceeds 17,280 cubic inches, the fee may rise to $79.99 per package.

The change primarily affects sellers of furniture, fitness equipment, appliances, battery products, auto parts, and bulky home goods. Cross-border sellers need to check the outer shipping carton rather than the product’s unpackaged weight, confirm whether consolidation exceeds weight or dimension thresholds, and verify that weight and dimension data in their ERP or API matches the actual packed shipment.
