I. Reasons for Category Adjustment
- Improve product publishing rationality: The existing product publication category structure and classification method cannot fully meet the requirements of the industry, making it difficult for suppliers to find suitable categories when publishing products.
- Enhance Buyer Procurement Efficiency: A reasonable category structure and classification method can improve the accuracy of buyer search matching, enabling buyers to find the products they want to purchase more efficiently and accurately.
II. Category Adjustment Schedule and Scope
Schedule:
- : New categories/some categories paths changings/renamed categories and attributes start to be published and go live.

- : Old categories are blocked. Abandoned categories are blocked on the merchant side. The adjustment will be completed after the display categories are refreshed. (The specific time may deviate by a few days before or after due to system reasons. Please refer to the actual adjustment time.)
