We regularly review your shop’s 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. This may include, but is not limited to:
  • Rejecting your application (e.g., if required certifications are missing or invalid)
  • Deducting points from your account health
  • Removing product listings (e.g., if a product is found to have fraudulent safety labels)
