The policy index lists a separate document establishing certificate requirements for certain industries in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, indicating that advertisers in those markets must obtain and submit documentation to qualify for ad approval in regulated categories.
This analysis describes what TikTok Ads's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Certificate requirements create a pre-approval gatekeeping mechanism that affects campaign launch eligibility and timelines for advertisers in regulated industries operating in Southeast Asian and Northeast Asian markets, and failure to obtain required certificates may result in ad disapproval or account restrictions.
Interpretive note: The specific industries, documentation types, and approval procedures are contained in a subordinate document not reproduced here; the index alone does not specify which industries or certificates are required in which markets.
This provision establishes that advertisers in certain industries and geographies must satisfy certificate requirements before their campaigns may be approved, creating eligibility conditions that affect operational access to the platform's advertising inventory in those markets.
