What happened?
TikTok Shop US’s household appliance requirements page is dated October 2, 2026. Covered categories include electric kettles, ovens, vacuum cleaners, electric fans, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, televisions, air conditioners, heat pumps, water heaters, and soda makers. Some products must pass Qualification Center review. Manufacturers, importers, and repackagers may need to submit compliance certificates and test reports issued within the past two years and matching the product model, along with photos of product safety labels and FCC labels. For products subject to EnergyGuide, the page also requires the display of annual energy consumption, the cost range for similar products, and estimated annual energy costs. Distributors may need to submit purchase invoices issued by manufacturers within the past 365 days. Affected cross-border sellers include those selling home appliances, devices with wireless functions, products containing carbon dioxide cylinders, and large household appliances.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers of electric kettles, ovens, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, air conditioners, and other appliances should recheck whether their products must pass Qualification Center review and prepare model-matched compliance materials. For listings involving EnergyGuide, wireless functions, or large household appliances, verify that energy information, label photos, and purchase records are complete, as gaps may affect sales.
