What happened?
TikTok Shop’s EU seller terms provide a transition window between the new and previous versions. Sellers whose accounts were created on or after September 30, 2026, or who accepted the new terms on or after that date, are subject to the September 30, 2026 version. Sellers who created their accounts or accepted the previous terms before that date may continue using the May 6, 2026 version through October 30, 2026. The countries covered include Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Poland. The transition affects cross-border sellers, brands, and service providers operating in the EU, covering account suspensions, fund holds, after-sales responsibilities, platform data use, and dispute handling. Sellers must also confirm the date on which their accounts accepted the terms and check whether their business entity details, VAT information, return address, product-safety materials, and authorization documents meet the requirements of the new terms.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
TikTok Shop EU sellers should first confirm their account creation or terms-acceptance date to determine the applicable version; the previous terms may apply no later than October 30, 2026. The transition also affects account suspensions, fund holds, after-sales responsibilities, data use, and dispute handling. Missing business-entity, VAT, or product documentation may increase operating risk.
