What happened?
TikTok Shop's compliance enforcement system is continuously upgrading. The platform has adopted stricter measures against violations, including direct account bans and fund freezes. In particular, sellers who violate policies multiple times within a 90-day period will face an automated penalty process, and certain serious violations will be excluded from the appeal process. This system ensures the compliance and market environment of the platform, and sellers must closely monitor their accounts' compliance.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers must strictly adhere to platform rules; any violations could lead to frozen funds and significant difficulty in appealing. Compliance in operations is essential for survival. Regular reviews and updates of operational content will help reduce the risk of non-compliance.
