[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 539641, member: 13090"] When a retailer says the lens, or camera body, is an "Import" it means the lens is grey market. Grey market is perfectly legal and a great way to save a lot of money. But, and this is a big "but" for some -- the reason grey market is so much cheaper, primarily, is because it will not come with a Nikon warranty; any warranty issues will be handled by the seller. B&H sells grey market and so do many other reputable retailers but Amazon does not. You really kind need to know your pricing but if your lens is, say, $500 on Amazon, and another retailer is selling that same lens for $300, you can pretty much bet the cheaper one is grey market; look at the fine print, there's usually a giveaway buried in the technical specs or elsewhere in the description.
