Are Sonoff smart switches actually UL listed?

Sonoff is a system that comes up often on this stack. However, I notice it seems to be of unusually low cost, not available in retail shops, sold widely in the "dodgy side of the internet" (eBay, Amazon Marketplace, Ali, etc.), and I only ever see the fairly meaningless CE mark on it.
The very first rule in NEC makes use of approved equipment mandatory. Virtually all authorities required for "approving" things delegate the job to UL and other reputable testing labs such as CSA, TUV etc.
Is Sonoff equipment actually listed by UL or other reputable testing lab?

Does it have a UL symbol printed on it or its packaging. One can assume that If it does than it is, if it does not then it is not.

Sonoff is NOT UL listed. For evidence of that fact type “sonoff UL listed” into google. As best I can tell Sonoff is also far more popular in Europe than the USA, I don’t know if they carry a CE mark or not, but they don’t appear to have the mark printed on.
