How to Handle Special-Handling Products (Battery / Magnetized / Flammable / Expiration-Controlled)

How to Apply for Special Approval for Special Products (such as products containing batteries, hazardous chemicals, or oversized items)

Battery-powered / magnetized hazardous goods (Class 9) and flammable liquids (Class 3)

Sellers must submit the MSDS and hazardous material information during goods creation for system review. Email approval is not required. Inventory may be shipped to the warehouse only after system approval is granted.

These products must still go through offline email approval. Please contact your FBT Account Manager (AM) to submit the required information for approval.
Oversized products are not allowed to enter FBT warehouses.
Before warehouse approval is completed, sellers must not ship inventory to FBT warehouses, otherwise the shipment will be rejected.
Products prohibited by TikTok Shop are strictly not allowed to enter FBT warehouses. For detailed policies, please refer to: TikTok Shop Prohibited Products Policy
Products that require temperature control are not allowed to enter FBT warehouses.

【How to Identify Whether a Product Is Class 9, Class 3, or Another Hazardous Type】

Sellers can refer to Section 14 (Transportation Information) of their MSDS to find the detailed hazardous material classification.

Creation and Review Process for Battery-Powered / Magnetized Products (Class 9) and Flammable Liquids (Class 3 Hazardous Goods)

#	Step	Key Actions	System Screenshot Example
1	When creating Goods and filling in logistics information, sellers must accurately declare hazardous material details.	Go to FBT System → Goods → Create Goods For flammable liquids, magnetized products, and battery-powered products (button cells, lithium metal batteries, lithium-ion batteries), select “Yes” in the Hazardous Material (Hazmat) Declaration section during goods creation
2	Hazard information submission options for battery-powered or magnetized products will appear. Complete the hazardous material details step by step.	Hazmat Type: Select the hazardous material category according to the classification shown in MSDS Section 14 (Transportation Information). For battery-powered products (e.g., button cell batteries, lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries), select Battery. For magnetized products (e.g., speakers, magnets), select Magnetized material. For flammable liquids (e.g., perfume, alcohol-based hand wash, essential oils), select Liquids which can be easily ignited in air at ambient temperatures.
3	Fill in and Declare Hazardous Material Information-Battery Products	Select Battery (Battery-Powered Products): How batteries are packed: Select the battery packaging method： If the product is a standalone battery and does not include equipment that uses the battery, select Standalone. If the product is a battery-powered device and the battery is packaged together with the device in the same package, select With equipment. If the product is a battery-powered device and the battery is installed inside the device, select In equipment. Battery Type：Select the battery type according to the battery type specified in the MSDS. Common battery types include: Lithium metal batteries: UN3481 or UN3480 Lithium-ion batteries: UN3091 or UN3090 Based on the information in the MSDS and the battery test report, enter the battery weight (this field refers to the battery weight) and the battery watt-hour information (unit: Wh). Upload the MSDS file. If the MSDS does not include the battery test report (UN38.3), upload the UN38.3 test report separately. Submit for review
3	Fill in and Declare Hazardous Material Information – Magnetized Products	Select Magnetized material (magnetized products): Upload the MSDS file Submit for review
	Fill in and Declare Hazardous Material Information – Flammable Liquids	Select Liquids which can be easily ignited in air at ambient temperatures (flammable liquids): Select the flammable liquid type according to the UN number shown in MSDS Section 14 For paints or paint-related products (UN1263), select Paints. For perfumes or fragrance products (UN1266), select Perfumery products. For alcohol-containing products such as cleaners (UN3065) and disinfectants, select Alcohols.

If the goods have already entered the warehouse, they will be returned. The seller will be required to bear all related costs, as well as any losses or expenses incurred by the platform due to misreporting or incorrect information.

How to Accurately Maintain Product Weight and Dimensions

After inbound, sellers must accurately maintain the product dimensions and weight (including logistics packaging) in Seller Center, as well as the dimensions and weight in the FBT system.

Dimensions / Weight Information	How to Accurately Maintain Dimensions / Weight Information	System Screenshot Example
The product dimensions and weight (including logistics packaging) maintained in Seller Center are not used for seller–buyer billing. However, if the dimensions or weight are incorrect, the product may become unsellable on the storefront.If the dimensions or weight maintained on the product listing are overestimated (e.g., chargeable weight exceeds 50 lbs), customers may be unable to place orders.	Sellers should reasonably estimate the product dimensions and weight including logistics packaging, and maintain them in: Seller Center → Product → Shipping → Weight & Dimensions.
The dimensions and weight in the FBT system are used as the basis for calculating Fulfillment Fees, HUB Placement Fees, and storage fees for inventory aged over 60 days.After inbound is completed, FBT will provide the warehouse-measured dimensions and weight. Sellers are required to review and verify the data in a timely manner to ensure consistency with warehouse measurements.	In the FBT system, click the goods name to view the warehouse-returned dimensions and weight. If there is a discrepancy between the seller-entered data and the warehouse measurements, click Edit Goods on the right to update the information so it matches the warehouse results. If there are questions about the warehouse-measured dimensions or weight, submit a ticket to request a re-measurement via: Contact us → FBT Goods Management → General Goods Questions and Issues.
