I liked mdshunk answer.
But I believe that if the appliance is not a UL and something happened they can go after me

our administrative code requires it to be listed for for use in the US, if he was getting a permit for that grill, I would require the grill to be on site for final inspection

Thank God I do not live there. The permit would be for a receptacle, not a grill. That is crazy, really is this still America? :roll:

Do you hang outside homes looking for non-listed home appliances?

You do realize standard NEMA motors are not UL listed, how do you deal with that?

The circuit should be 15AMP.

Is the Grill less than 1440 VA?

Did you read NEC 210.6(A)?

If its less then 1440 VA the NEC will not allow it in a dwelling unit unless it is 120 volt.

By the way in most areas inspectors will accept listings other than UL

funny you should say that, I bought a case of gfic outlets on line ( great price) Local Inspector was there and picked up the box wrote down the UL number. Several ays later he notified me that the UL# was a candaain # not USA, Is there anythin in the NEC that says it has to to UL listed in the usa?

no I do not hang outside of peoples homes, the OP was a receptacle for a grill,
the OP said it was not listed in US, and if a contractor dropped of a permit for a receptacle I would ask what is it for, is that so out of line, since you know it all what questions would you ask for a contractor dropping off a permit for a receptacle, or would you just sign it off and issue it and deal with it in the field,
 
gilamor tell your customer to send it back to Europe, I would not get involved in that liability
