Since Dec 2024 EU rules TikTok Shop

How EU product safety (GPSR) works on TikTok Shop

TikTok Shop blends content and commerce, which means AI-content and advertising rules bite harder here than on a plain storefront. The platform handles discovery; the disclosures are yours.

📦 On TikTok Shop: If you sell into the EU through TikTok Shop, EU product-safety and AI-labeling rules apply to your listings and your content alike.

Does this apply to you?

Common questions

Do I have to handle eU product safety (GPSR) myself on TikTok Shop, or does TikTok Shop cover it?

TikTok Shop gives you the storefront, but eU product safety (GPSR) compliance is the seller's responsibility — the platform doesn't do it for you. The free checker shows exactly where you stand in about a minute.

What is an EU Responsible Person?

An EU-based entity that takes legal responsibility for a product's safety and compliance. GPSR requires one for products sold to EU consumers.

Does GPSR apply to me?

If you ship physical products to consumers in the EU or Northern Ireland, yes — it has applied since 13 December 2024.

What must a GPSR listing show?

Manufacturer details, the EU Responsible Person, product identifiers (type/batch/serial), and safety warnings — shown before checkout.
