Very good question. The camera is marked and serial number tells whether or not the equipment is US spec or not.

Your camera is something that will need some level of service over time, but will remain functional and useful with basic service for a long time. In this case, it's not just a warranty you won't have, but it will be very hard to get service. Imagine if your new BMW couldn't be serviced at the dealer and only at a shade tree garage! No authorized US repair facility will touch your gray market equipment.
