Double ÉveilProhibited and restricted products on TikTok Shop US and UK
A product sold on Amazon isn't automatically allowed on TikTok Shop. Some products are banned, others need documents or an approved application. Here's an overview: always read the official policy before you choose.

Restricted (documents or approval)
Categories such as beauty, electrical goods, toys, food, supplements or CBD need documents, certifications or an approved application before you can list. Some categories are invite-only.
What we avoid as beginners
Battery-powered products, products for children, health products and copies of trademarked brands: too many rules, too much risk at the start.
