AMZ123 Cross-border Newsletter2026-7-3

AMZ123 has learned that TikTok Shop Southeast Asia cross-border stores announced that, effective July 7, 2026, it will update its weight management and muscle-building content policies, explicitly prohibiting five types of violating expressions when promoting weight loss, fat reduction, or muscle-building products: including claims that products have "natural Ozempic," "GLP-1 enhancer" or similar pharmacological effects; guiding users to continue exercising with injuries or illness to achieve fat burning; encouraging excessive intake to accelerate results (e.g., arbitrarily changing the recommended 2 capsules to 4 capsules); claiming that waist trainers and other products can achieve slimming effects by directly altering internal body structure; and using scales, food scales and other tools combined with extreme dieting or ideal body comparison images for high-risk weight management promotions. Violating content will be removed, and in serious cases, influencers or stores will face penalties. The platform also advises sellers in beauty, health, and device-related categories and their partnered KOLs/KOCs to promptly review livestream scripts and short video copy, and strictly publish content according to compliant expressions to avoid violating community rules and affecting account security.

Seller Home Commentary

TikTok Shop's strict regulation on weight loss and muscle-building promotions in Southeast Asia means sellers must complete compliance reviews before July 7. The key action is to immediately audit and remove prohibited statements from relevant product descriptions to prevent delisting due to violations, which could impact store ratings and traffic.
