Summary
Electronic Instruments section requirements removed. COC documentation rules (2-year issuance, matching category, lab details, photo alignment) previously required for manufacturers/importers deleted. Reseller and electrical safety requirements remain in new text.
Why it matters
Manufacturers and importers of electronic instruments face reduced compliance burden—COC documentation is no longer mandatory. This lowers barrier to entry but may indicate TikTok deprioritizes this product category or revised enforcement stance on importers vs. resellers.
Recommended action
Verify whether COC submissions are still accepted for ongoing listings. Audit existing Electronic Instruments listings to confirm compliance status post-change. Monitor category qualification application outcomes for this segment.
