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
To view the list of chemicals requiring a Prop 65 warning, refer to the Chemicals page and the Prop 65 List
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.
