How to appeal a TikTok Shop violation
Start with the exact ticket in Seller Center. The action, deadline, reason, and required evidence can vary. Your ticket and the latest official policy control.
Read the ticket before drafting
Open Seller Center and note the enforcement action, stated reason, affected product or shop, available action, and exact deadline.
Confirm Correction or Appeal
Some pending violations may offer a Correction before enforcement. Use only the action available in your ticket.
Preserve the deadline
Current guidance describes 30 days for a first appeal and 15 days after rejection for a second. Some cases may allow only 12–72 hours. Your ticket controls.

Collect original, clear, relevant material that addresses the exact violation. Do not enter sensitive documents into AppealSource.
Write a factual response
Connect each statement to evidence and describe corrective or preventive action truthfully.
Review and submit independently
