RequiredImportant Warnings
High complaint rates are recoverable with genuine product and service improvements.
TikTok Shop uses a point deduction system. Accumulated violations can lead to account suspension.
Prevention is better than cure. Focus on accurate listings and quality products to keep complaint rates low long-term.
IP violations accumulate. Multiple complaints lead to escalating penalties including permanent account termination.
If your products are genuinely counterfeit, there is no appeal path. Remove the products and switch to legitimate sourcing.
If your products are genuine and you have proof of authorized sourcing, recovery is likely through the appeal process.
No guarantees: Some policy violations result in permanent shop closure.
TikTok heavily scrutinizes video content and live stream compliance.
Counterfeit product violations often result in permanent shop closure.
Without brand authorization, appeals for branded products are very unlikely to succeed.
