The questions below are answered for a typical sample shipment of printed flags moving from Guangdong to a TikTok FBT warehouse in Redlands, California by international express.
Factory pickup is charged at RMB 2 per kg. Remote-area surcharges vary by postal code, so please verify the exact amount with us. We recommend having your factory deliver to our Shenzhen / Guangzhou warehouse — factories usually deliver free of charge, which avoids the pickup charge.All-in rate and transit days for DHL Express and UPS are confirmed per shipment.
Yes, we can ship DDP. For DDP we estimate duty at about 35%, collected by our company. Note that DHL and similar express services are provided on a DDU basis — in that case the consignee (the receiver) acts as importer of record and handles customs clearance themselves. If you prefer DDP by air, we can also arrange that: you do not need to provide a consignee — we supply one, and the receiver only needs to wait for delivery.
Yes. When you use DHL, FedEx or UPS international express, the courier delivers directly to the door under their own label — no separate truck or pallet handoff is needed, which fits TikTok's parcel-delivery requirement.
Yes, we declare the true invoice value. The commercial invoice is provided by the factory or by you. For the U.S. customs entry: when the goods arrive at U.S. Customs, DHL files the entry on behalf of the consignee and sends the paperwork to the receiver. Duty must be paid before final delivery can be made.
Yes, we can apply your TikTok carton labels (2 per carton). This service is free of charge.
