How to Sell Kids' Fashion on TikTok Shop

Kids' fashion products are classified as restricted products on TikTok Shop. To sell them, you will need to go through TikTok Shop's Category Qualification process, which requires submitting the necessary documentation.
Only sellers who pass Category Qualification can sell kids' fashion products on TikTok Shop. Following these guidelines will help you successfully complete this process and ensure a smooth selling experience.

Kids' Fashion Products

Kids' fashion products encompass a range of clothing and accessories designed for children, from infants to pre-teenagers aged 12 years and younger. Example products include:

• Kids' clothing: tops, bottoms, dresses, coats & jackets, underwear, socks
• Kids' swimwear
• Kids' footwear: sandals, slippers, shoes
• Kids' accessories: belts, earmuffs, gloves, scarves and shawls, watches, bowties
• Kids' bags: backpack, luggage

Please note that certain product categories may have additional product-specific requirements that must be met prior to completing the listing process.

• For children's sleepwear, you must submit a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) for each individual product you wish to list. This means the CPC must be provided at the product level, not just for the category as a whole.
  • Examples of children's sleepwear products include:
    • Kids' pajama tops, bottoms, and sets
    • Kids' onesies
    • Kids' bathrobes
• The remaining documentation for kids' sleepwear follows the same requirements as the broader children's fashion category, outlined below.
