UL should have no interest in products shipped without their marks
present. With respect to the use of the word "approved". UL does not
"approve" anything - they "list" it.

Again, you can ship product that does not bear UL marks - but don't expect
to subsequently add the mark to those products without a field-inspection
later on. UL Marks are, in general, required to be applied at the point of
manufacture.
A real-world (not hypothetical) experience: I'm aware of products shipped
>from Asia with UL markings present, prior to the receipt of their
"Authorization to ship" letter. The manufacturer's position was that they
were in warehouses, awaiting receipt of the "Authorization". The
warehouses, in fact, were containers on ships, headed for the U.S.
Obviously, this was a business decision (and a gamble that the
"Authorization" would be issued without requiring any modifications of the
product steaming in this direction). And, yes, the gamble paid off :-)
Best regards, Art Michael
