Summary
Policy header clarified: added explicit statement that page covers "category qualification and product listing review requirements only" and sellers must independently ensure CPSC regulatory compliance. No new substantive requirements introduced.
Why it matters
The addition sets clearer expectations that TikTok Shop's documentation is not exhaustive legal guidance. Sellers remain responsible for understanding underlying CPSC rules. Reduces ambiguity but imposes no new operational or compliance burden beyond existing responsibility.
Recommended action
Review the new Key Points section and CPSC eFiling Guide reference to confirm your understanding of independent CPSC compliance obligations. No application or documentation changes required at this time.
