To simplify things for sellers, the "Refund Status" and "Refund Reason" from the refund data will be shared with U-PIC. This provides an extra way for sellers to submit documentation, alongside the existing affidavit process.
Sellers can send an Affidavit Email to their customers to gather supporting evidence in Seller Center.
Once the buyer completes and submits the affidavit, the information is forwarded to U-PIC, and the status of the affidavit will be updated to "Completed".

FAQ

Insurance is only applicable to TikTok Shipping (formerly Shipped via Platform)
For Seller Shipping (formerly Ship by Seller) orders, TikTok cannot assist with resolving any logistics issues. You will need to contact the carrier you used to fulfill your order to resolve any issues.
I already printed the shipping label. Can I still edit insurance details?Unfortunately, this isn't currently possible. Insurance can only be purchased and edited before or while printing the shipping label for the shipment.
I paid for additional insurance to cover more than $200, but the order was cancelled/didn't ship. Do I get my money back?If a package is not A-scanned by the logistics carrier and the package is canceled, the insurance fee will be refunded. However, once the package is in transit with the logistics carrier and the insurance is officially in effect, the fee cannot be refunded.
