warning CATALOG_FROZEN_DUE_TO_28_DAYS_

Catalog frozen due to 28 days without ad activity

What this means

If the catalog is not used in any active campaign for 28 days, TikTok freezes review and delivery. Launching a new campaign reactivates it.

Why this happens

TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager flags products that fall under restricted/prohibited categories — counterfeits, restricted weapons, healthcare claims requiring certification, financial services, alcohol, gambling, adult content, or restricted destinations.

How to fix it

  1. Read the linked policy article carefully to understand exactly what's restricted.
  2. If your product is genuinely permitted but flagged in error, request a re-review — but make sure your content is squeaky-clean first.
  3. If selling regulated products, apply for the appropriate program enrollment with required certifications.
  4. Remove or modify product titles, descriptions, and images that imply prohibited content.
