Creator TL;DR

AI-generated from the captured TikTok policy text. Verify against the TikTok source before acting.

TikTok Shop requires sellers to check whether products contain California Prop 65 chemicals, add the required warnings on listings and packaging, and respond to compliance requests such as lab test reports. If sellers do not act within the request window, TikTok Shop may deactivate the product or take other enforcement action.

Key points

  • Check whether the product contains Prop 65-listed chemicals before listing.
  • If chemicals are present, select the CA Prop 65 attribute and the matching chemicals so the warning shows on the product page.
  • Make sure product packaging includes compliant Prop 65 warning labels.
  • TikTok Shop may ask for a lab test report for certain products.
  • If a report is requested, sellers can upload it in Seller Center > Account Settings > Qualification Center > Product Compliance.
  • Sellers may instead update the listing to reflect the chemicals and warnings; then a test report is no longer required.
  • Sellers have 60 days to submit the report or update the listing after a request.
  • If no action is taken, the product may be deactivated.

Say / show

  • Check whether your product contains any Prop 65-listed chemicals.
  • Add the required Prop 65 warning information to the listing if the product contains listed chemicals.
  • Ensure packaging includes compliant Prop 65 warning labels.
  • Respond to TikTok Shop lab test report requests through the Qualification Center.
  • Use the Appeals section if you want to appeal an enforcement action.

Do not say / show

  • You can ignore a lab test report request.
  • A test report is always required for every product.
  • Packaging warnings are optional.
  • A listing update cannot replace a requested test report.
  • TikTok Shop only enforces the product listing, not Prop 65.

Violation risks

  • Product deactivation.
  • Deducted Account Health Rating points.
  • Removed product listings.
  • Revoked ability to offer products for sale.
  • Customer refunds.
  • Other enforcement action at TikTok Shop’s discretion.

Who it affects

Key Points:
  • Sellers must determine whether their products contain Prop 65-listed chemicals and ensure compliance by providing clear warnings on listings and product packaging.

This document outlines the requirements for complying with California's Proposition 65 (Prop 65) when listing and selling products on TikTok Shop. These products are also subject to our Product Listing Policy. Sellers must comply with both this document and the Product Listing Policy.

California Proposition 65

Prop 65 requires businesses to provide clear warnings if their products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To learn more, refer to this Proposition 65 page. To ensure compliance, TikTok Shop requires you to adhere to these regulations when selling products to California consumers.

Requirements

When listing products, you must:
  • Determine whether your products contain any chemicals listed under Prop 65
  • If your products contain listed chemicals, select "Yes" for the CA Prop 65 Carcinogens or Reproductive Chemicals attribute and choose the corresponding chemicals. When you select "Yes," a warning will be displayed on the product detail page
  • Ensure all product packaging includes compliant Prop 65 warning labels

Product Verification and Compliance Checks

TikTok Shop may verify the accuracy of seller-submitted information. For certain products, including those that may contain one or more Prop 65-listed chemicals, TikTok Shop reserves the right to request additional evidence, such as product test reports, to confirm compliance with TikTok Shop’s policies and requirements.
If you receive a notification in the Qualification Center and via email requesting a lab test report for specific chemicals, you must provide the required report to ensure shop compliance. To upload your materials, go to Seller Center, then navigate to Account Settings, open the Qualification Center, and select Product Compliance.
Alternatively, you may update your product listing by selecting the relevant chemicals and warnings. If you choose to update the attributes to reflect the presence of these chemicals, a test report is no longer required.

Documentation Example

  • Test Report (obtained from the manufacturer or importer)

  • Removing product listings
  • Revoking your access to offer products for sale
  • Issuing refunds to customers
