Automotive & Motorcycle
Rules for selling automotive accessories, car parts, and motorcycle accessories including DOT standards, emissions compliance, and listing accuracy.
What this covers
Helmets sold on TikTok Shop must carry DOT or ECE certification — listing an uncertified helmet, even at a low price point, is treated as a prohibited safety hazard and results in removal. Emissions defeat devices, including OBD tuners that disable emission controls, are prohibited under EPA regulations; TikTok Shop enforces this prohibition regardless of how the product is marketed. Automotive fitment and compatibility claims must be accurate; listing a part as compatible with vehicles it doesn't fit is a misleading claim violation.
