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

TikTok Shop says kids' fashion products can be sold only after category qualification when required, and sellers must follow both this page and the Restricted Products Guidelines. The page lists allowed and prohibited items, and says sellers must provide CPSC-related documentation and compliant product photos when asked.

Key points

  • Kids' fashion covers children’s clothing, footwear, and accessories for ages 12 and under.
  • Some sellers may need category qualification through the Qualification Center.
  • Sellers are responsible for CPSC and CPSIA compliance.
  • Manufacturers, importers, repackers, and resellers have different document requirements.
  • Tracking label photos and legible, unaltered documents may be required.
  • Children’s helmets are restricted products and need Category Qualification.
  • Choking hazard warnings must be shown in the listing and on packaging when required.

Say / show

  • Make sure CPCs, test reports, invoices, and photos match the listing and product photos.
  • Keep documents legible, unaltered, and in English when required.
  • Verify whether the product is allowed before listing.
  • Review the TikTok Shop Restricted Products Guidelines alongside this page.
  • Confirm current requirements against the TikTok source before acting.

Do not say / show

  • Do not list beaded teethers, including amber, wood, silicone, or other beaded teether products.
  • Do not submit documents that are altered, illegible, or mismatched to the product.
  • Do not assume general kids' fashion approval covers restricted items like children’s helmets.
  • Do not ignore choking hazard warning requirements when a product meets CPSC criteria.

  • Product removal
  • Account Health Rating point deductions
  • Revoked access to offer products for sale

Choking Hazard Warning Label ⚠️

Children’s products that meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) criteria for choking hazards must include a clear choking hazard warning label. TikTok Shop requires all sellers to:
  • Ensure the choking hazard warning is clearly displayed in the product listing
  • Include a compliant warning label on product packaging
Common examples of products that may require this warning include, but are not limited to, certain jewelry and accessories. These items may contain small parts that can detach and pose a choking hazard.
See Choking Hazard Warning Label Requirements for more information.

Enforcement Actions and Appeals

We regularly review shops for compliance with this document and our TikTok Shop Restricted Products Guidelines. If any violations are identified, TikTok Shop may take enforcement action at our sole discretion. For example, failing a document review may result in a rejected application, while listing a prohibited item could lead to product removal and account-level penalties. Actions are determined on a case-by-case basis and may include, but are not limited to:
  • Rejecting category qualification applications
  • Deducting points from the seller’s Account Health Rating
  • Removing product listings
  • Revoking access to offer products for sale
  • Issuing refunds to customers
