Temu sellers preparing for New Year sales should take immediate notice of a critical platform update that could disrupt their operations. The e-commerce platform has issued an urgent requirement for all merchants to upload actual product packaging label photos to their "Compliance Center" by January 6, 2024.
Failure to meet this deadline may result in products losing their "Available for Same-Day Shipping" status, potentially affecting shipping eligibility and even leading to product removal from listings.
Compliance Requirements Explained
The new mandate aims to standardize product information and enhance consumer protection. Products without properly uploaded label photos will be automatically flagged as non-compliant, restricting their sales regardless of inventory availability or logistical readiness.
This policy change means sellers could miss crucial sales opportunities during the peak shopping season due to simple labeling oversights.
Action Steps for Sellers
Sellers must immediately:
- Access the "Temu Seller Center" and navigate to the "Compliance Center"
- Locate the "Product Label Photo" section to identify which items require updates
- Review affected markets and required label types (including Triman labels, plastic suffocation warning labels, etc.)
Upload Guidelines
When submitting label photos:
- Use the "Upload" button to submit images according to platform specifications
- Ensure photos are clear, complete, and display all necessary labels on a single plane
- For best results, place labeled products flat on a surface to capture all information at once
Strategic Recommendations
Given potential review delays, sellers should:
- Prioritize best-selling items to prevent stock outages
- Submit high-quality images that meet all requirements for first-time approval
- Consider batch uploading for large inventories, focusing first on top performers
The platform maintains strict photo standards - images must show complete, unobstructed label information without blurring or partial visibility. Sellers receiving rejection notices should promptly make corrections and resubmit.
Conclusion
This compliance update presents both challenges and opportunities for Temu sellers. Proactive merchants who complete the upload process promptly will maintain uninterrupted sales, while those delaying action risk significant disruptions as the New Year shopping season begins.
