TikTok Shop Sell Across EU will enable UK sellers to sell to EU countries through an expanded selling opportunity on the platform and it launches on the 19th of October. This allows sellers to list their products across these markets and reach more customers in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Portugal, and Hungary.
Ahead of the full launch, a selected group of sellers will be invited to join an early pilot starting on the 21st of September. You’ll receive another message if invited once Sell Across EU becomes available for your shop, with more details on eligibility and how to get started.
TikTok Shop Sell across EU Eligibility
Eligibility is determined through a real-time assessment of your current account status and performance. To be eligible to expand to the EU market, a seller must meet the following criteria:
- Operating Status: You must be an active local seller already onboarded in the UK market (how to set up your UK TikTok Shop account)
- Account Health: Your account must be in good standing. This means you are not on any high-risk watchlists and are not currently in a high-risk probation period.
- Recent Activity: Your shop must be active and have active sales within the last 30 days. Accounts that have been dormant for a long period are not eligible for expansion.
- Financial Standing: You must not have a significant outstanding negative balance in your existing account.
The system performs these checks automatically. If you meet these requirements, the option to expand to the EU will be made available to you in your seller dashboard.
Worth noting, some approved product categories are restricted on TikTok Shop or require additional attribute information or compliance documentation to sell in the EU markets.
