TikTok Shop Fully Managed Service Expands to 16 Countries for the First Time; Year's Biggest Black Friday Promotion Season About to Begin

TikTok Shop's fully managed service expands to 16 countries for the first time and launches the most significant Black Friday promotion season of the year. For sellers, this means they can quickly ramp up sales with platform traffic and subsidies, but registration must be done quickly and inventory must be sufficient. It is recommended to complete registration immediately, formulate promotional prices and inventory plans, and focus on high-converting body-related categories (apparel, beauty, accessories, etc.).

Amazon Dangerous Goods Compliance New Rule: From October 26, new or edited listings must first "complete a quiz"

Amazon requires that starting October 26, 2026, sellers must complete a dangerous goods compliance quiz before creating or editing listings; failure to pass may result in listing suspension or removal. Sellers involved in batteries, chemicals, liquids, etc., face the highest risk. It is recommended to familiarize with the quiz process in advance, prepare SDS and other compliance materials, and check existing relevant listings to avoid being blocked before the promotion.
