The Sky Bet Championship club are currently under a transfer embargo for breaching Football League Financial Fair Play rules.
But Cardiff can still make loan signings if they pay them under £10,000 a week and Zohore, a Denmark Under-21 striker, has joined until the end of the season after moving from Danish side OB Odense to Kortrijk earlier on Monday.
Malaysian businessman Tan owns both Cardiff and Kortrijk, but the Football League are satisfied that Zohore's move does not breach any rules of the Bluebirds' transfer embargo.
Zohore started his career at FC Copenhagen before moving on to Fiorentina and then having loan spells at Brondby and Gothenburg.
The 22-year-old joined Odense in February 2015 and has scored seven goals in 16 appearances.
"Cardiff City FC is delighted to announce the loan signing of Kenneth Zohore from KV Kortrijk, subject to international clearance," said a statement on the official club website.
"Kenneth will link up with the Bluebirds in a loan deal that runs until June 30th, 2016,"
The Bluebirds also hope to complete the loan signing of Leicester's Wales striker Tom Lawrence on transfer deadline day.
Lawrence, 22, spent the first half of the season at Blackburn and is understood to be keen on another loan spell in the Championship to get first-team football ahead of Wales' Euro 2016 campaign this summer.
