For online stores selling generic imports, if the MFG doesn't have UL documentation, the online store should have to deal with that to sell it.

For example, it would be no problem for Samsung or Apple to provide UL safety test documents. But if the online store was going to be a middleman for some generic charger like zzazz or Brikkstek (both are names I just made up) they'd either have to prove that zzazz did the safety checks already - or the online store would have to first get a couple of units themselves and send those units to UL for testing.

Obviously that wouldn't catch a piece of garbage that just stops working after a week, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Like if the charger falls apart and exposed the 120V components, or it lacks fuses and is thus a fire hazard when it fails - obviously it would fail UL testing. UL is just about it being safe including when it fails - it must fail safe.
