What happened?
TikTok Shop updated the Collection by TikTok (CBT) registration instructions for the U.S. site on September 29, 2026. Eligible stores can go to “Logistics > Warehouse & Shipping > Shipping Settings” in Seller Center and submit warehouse contact details and related materials. Review usually takes 5 to 7 business days. Some areas in Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and parts of Texas may be enabled faster. The platform explicitly warns that the CBT registration tool will be unavailable from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027. Sellers planning to connect the service during the fourth-quarter peak season should complete applications before November 7. After CBT approval, the system will enable the service in fixed batches, and eligible Standard Delivery orders may switch automatically. The change mainly affects sellers seeking to use TikTok logistics consolidation, reduce the operational burden of self-managed warehouses, or expand for the peak season, particularly U.S.-based warehouse and cross-border replenishment warehouse sellers.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers planning to connect CBT during the fourth quarter should apply by November 7, 2026, because the CBT registration tool will be unavailable from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027. After approval, eligible Standard Delivery orders may switch automatically, so stores should arrange review tracking and order handling in advance.
What should sellers do now?
