I was under the impression the standards testing was the responsibility
of the 'manufacturer' and thus if the item in question is a kit, the
manufacturer is the end user. I see a lot of radio related kits which
clearly defy FCC regulations and get away with it since they only sell
a bag full of parts.

I also believe UL testing is not manditory by regulation, it's just
that a lot of organizations will not buy products without the test.
Try to find a Korean hair dryer with a UL approval sticker.

I could be wrong but that's how it was explained to me by people who
should know.
