What are Dangerous Goods?

A dangerous good is any product capable of posing a risk to health, safety, and property during shipping, storage, and handling. These goods can contain flammable, corrosive, pressurised, or otherwise harmful substances. As a result, dangerous goods must be handled and transported with special care and safety measures and may have additional transportation requirements (such as specific marking and labeling of packages or special handling).
Some common dangerous goods include, but are not limited to:

• Lithium battery products (such as powerbanks, laptops or smartphones)
• Corrosive or flammable liquids (such as household cleaners)
• Aerosol products (such as insecticides, or air fresheners)
• Oxidising products (such as fertilizers)

You are responsible for identifying if your listed products qualify as dangerous goods, as well as shipping and labeling these products in accordance to laws and regulations.
Please note that while dangerous goods (such as the products listed above) may be sold on the platform after being declared, hazardous goods are prohibited on the platform. A list of hazardous goods can be found in our TikTok Shop Prohibited Products Policy.

How can declare my 'Dangerous Goods'?

You are required to declare if your goods are 'Dangerous Goods' during product listing. You may do so by selecting "Yes" for the attribute "Dangerous Goods" under the "Shipping" section of the product listing page. You may also edit this for existing products.

What happens if I breach these guidelines?

Failing to declare your product(s) as "dangerous goods" may result in your parcels/product being seized and/or destroyed by authorities, and your order being cancelled.
In addition, if you are found to violate these guidelines, you may have enforcement actions taken against your account. You should note that repeated offenses will result in more significant penalties.
Please see our Violation Reasons, Points & Enforcement Actions for Sellers article and Seller Terms of Service for more information. If you think an enforcement action has been taken against you in error, appeal via the Seller Center. Please read our Seller Appeal Guidelines article for more information.
