3 is interesting, it means a tint shop cannot even have film darker than the laws in their possesion.

If they do, it means the only thing they can do with it is to install or sell it.

Someone else might have a different interpetation than me.

where I am from the laws are really stiff:

(E) Each vehicle equipped with an after-factory sunscreening

device, whether installed by a consumer or professional window

tinter, at all times must bear a certificate of compliance. The

certificate of compliance must be of a size and form prescribed by

the department. Each certificate of compliance must be properly

attached to the vehicle on the inside and lower right hand corner

of each window containing an after-factory installed sunscreen

device and must contain the following information:

(1) the percentage of light transmission allowed by the

sunscreening device;

(2) the identity of the installer by name, address, and

telephone number; and

(3) date of installation.

(F) Sunscreening devices offered for sale or use in South

Carolina must include instructions with the product or material for

proper installation. The manufacturer of the sunscreen device

offered for sale or use in South Carolina must provide the

certificate of compliance specified in subsection (E) and

instructions for affixing it to the sunscreen device.

(G) No person may:

(1) offer for sale or for use any sunscreening product or

material for motor vehicle use not in compliance with this section;

(2) install any sunscreening product or material on

vehicles titled for use on public roads without permanently

affixing the certificate of compliance specified in this section.

A professional window tinter who violates the provisions of

subsections (E) or (G) is guilty of a misdemeanor triable in

magistrate's court and, upon conviction, must be fined not less

than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days,

or both, for each offense. A consumer who violates the provisions

of subsection (E) or (G) is guilty of a misdemeanor triable in

magistrate's court and, upon conviction, must be fined not less

than two hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days

for each offense.
