What are grey market Nikon imaging products?
Generally, a manufacturer works with a single importer which can sell and support their products in a given region. The importer usually has local dealers and distributors who are authorized to resell the imported products; this is called a distribution channel. Grey market refers to merchandise that is imported and sold by companies outside of a manufacturer’s normal distribution channel. Nikon Inc. is the authorized importer of Nikon imaging products in the United States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Nikon imaging products imported for the purpose of resale to any of the areas listed above are grey market Nikon imaging products if they are imported by anyone other than Nikon Inc.
