Summary
TikTok Shop adds nine prohibited service/virtual product categories: custom document creation, customs intermediaries, exam solutions, real estate services, MLM/pyramid schemes, sex act facilitation, surrogacy, unlicensed gambling in-game currency, and unauthorized streaming devices. Sellers cannot list or offer these services.
Why it matters
Sellers offering these services face immediate listing removal and account penalties. Creators promoting these services violate Community Guidelines. Enforcement is swift; violations can trigger account suspension or permanent shop access revocation without warning.
Recommended action
Audit all shop listings and creator content for these nine prohibited service categories. Remove any offerings immediately. Establish internal review process to prevent future violations. Monitor affiliate promotions to ensure no links direct to prohibited services.
Custom document creation (for example, counterfeit certificates, identification documents)
No content was removed in this update.
