Where to report
DHgate IP protection — Submit through DHgate's IPR complaint process.
What to include
- The exact URL of the infringing DHgate listing.
- Your original work — the URL of your own listing and the date it was published.
- Your original photo file, if the form allows attachments.
- Your contact details.
- A good-faith statement and an accuracy statement under penalty of perjury (see the DMCA notice guide).
You can generate a ready-to-paste notice with our free takedown notice generator.
DHgate-specific tips
- Use DHgate's IPR complaint process.
- Include the product URL and seller name.
- Attach proof of ownership of the photo.
What happens next
DHgate reviews complaints and may remove the listing.
Before you report: save evidence
Listings can disappear and reappear under new IDs. Before reporting, save the URL, a screenshot and an Internet Archive snapshot (web.archive.org → “Save Page Now”). See someone stole my product photos for the full checklist.
