News on July 27: TikTok Shop has recently announced that its official pickup & delivery service CBT (Collections by TikTok) has officially launched in Miami, Florida, marking another expansion of its service coverage. CBT is a last-mile value-added service launched by TikTok Shipping, covering the whole chain of pickup and delivery. Within the service coverage, TikTok Shop offers eligible merchants free door-to-door pickup, with last-mile delivery fulfilled by CBT. Meanwhile, merchants can gain access to more competitive logistics rates. To further boost operational efficiency for US merchants and improve fulfillment experience for consumers, TikTok Shop keeps expanding its pickup coverage. The CBT pickup service will officially go live in Miami, Florida on July 28. With Florida newly included, the CBT pickup network now covers nine core regions across the United States: core areas of Southern California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, as well as the newly launched Miami area in Florida. Merchants may submit applications directly via notifications on the Logistics Service homepage in the Seller Center. If your partnered third-party warehouse already fulfills CBT orders but your store has not yet met the 50-order threshold, you can also activate CBT with no minimum order requirement

Faced with policy shifts, industry insiders recommend that enterprises make preparations from several dimensions. During the review phase, priority should be given to auditing top-selling products, main product images and brand flagship store pages to identify ASINs featuring AI-generated photorealistic human figures one by one. In terms of material management, metadata management should be incorporated into the workflow at the material creation stage, instead of being remedied after upload. If enterprises cooperate with advertising agencies or freelance designers, delivery requirements shall clearly specify whether materials contain AI-generated elements, who is responsible for labeling, and how liabilities are allocated. Regarding record retention, as law enforcement partly hinges on intent and awareness, companies should systematically archive documents including creative briefs, AI prompts and production specifications. For instance, if a material is explicitly designed to feature mannequins, cartoon characters or abstract avatars, relevant records can serve as evidence that there was no intention to create the impression of real human performers. When selecting creative approaches, different solutions come with varying costs and disclosure requirements. The hybrid production strategy of “real human models paired with AI-generated backgrounds” generally does not trigger the synthetic performer rules, which may become a viable option for some brands

Recent policy moves in both the U.S. and China are optimizing the cross-border e-commerce logistics landscape, with the overseas warehouse model emerging as a clear beneficiary. As U.S. import compliance requirements tighten and China introduces targeted financial support, the commercial value of local fulfillment continues to grow. On June 18, four central agencies—the Ministry of Commerce, the People’s Bank of China, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange—jointly issued a policy document introducing 11 measures aimed at stabilizing foreign trade and improving cross-border financial services. The package explicitly encourages financial institutions to design tailored products for cross-border e-commerce companies and overseas warehouse operators, streamline cross-border settlement procedures, and lower financing thresholds for small and medium-sized exporters, directly easing capital cost pressures for businesses investing in overseas warehousing capabilities. In the U.S., new import compliance regulations set to take effect in July are already influencing shipment patterns. According to a June 23 industry report from Freightwaves, trans-Pacific freight volumes rose 26% month-over-month during the first half of June. The share of full-container-load shipments routed to overseas warehouses surged by 22 percentage points, while direct-to-consumer parcel volumes continued to contract—a clear indication that sellers are pivoting toward

I. Pre-launch Stage: Warehouse & Store System Binding and Configuration After merchants complete the onboarding procedures for TikTok US Stores, the top priority is to realize data communication between the store and overseas warehouse, which is the fundamental operation for compliant shipment. Log in to the TikTok Merchant Backend and navigate to the Logistics Settings section. Fully fill in the physical address of the overseas warehouse and exclusive return address. The system supports input of multiple sets of warehouse addresses, allowing merchants to assign outbound warehouses based on product sales regions. Select the TikTok Shipping fulfillment model, complete service provider authorization, and enable automatic order push permissions. Connect to Yunquna’s self-developed Warehouse Management System (WMS) and submit API authorization to finish binding. Once bound, two-way real-time synchronization of store SKUs, orders and inventory data will be achieved. Pre-enter all SKU codes of on-sale products, and simultaneously record each item’s length, width, height and weight. Inside the warehouse, storage zones are divided according to these parameters. Battery-powered goods, oversized items and high-value products are stored in separate zones to cut down time spent on outbound inspection and verification. II.

1. Warehouse Qualification Binding and System Integration Temu only enables the overseas warehouse dropshipping service for semi-managed stores. After opening a store, you must complete warehouse qualification verification and system authorization; non-registered warehouses cannot connect to the platform’s order system. Log in to the Seller Center, go to the Fulfillment Management section, enter basic information such as the cooperating overseas warehouse’s address and contact details, submit warehouse registration documents to finish binding. There are two main ways to complete system integration: After integration, submit test orders to verify data flow: confirm that order pushing, inventory updates, and tracking number return work properly. This prevents information gaps that would delay order fulfillment once you start receiving real orders. 2. First-mile Stock Preparation and Warehousing Requirements Before dispatching goods to the overseas warehouse, create a warehousing request in advance in the warehouse system, including SKU codes, individual dimensions and weight, and packing details. Affix clear shipping labels on the outside of each carton to distinguish different product categories. Choose sea freight or air freight based on shipment volume and turnover speed; purchase cargo insurance to reduce losses from damage or loss in transit. Ensure all products comply with the destination country’s regulatory
