Where are you? - if you live in Japan they are probably not imported, if you live in most of the rest of the world then they will be :-)

Do you mean Grey Imports?

Welcome to POTN.

Pardon me if you already know this, but all Canon lenses are imported unless you live in Japan. The difference is only in the warranty.

Oddly, I've often seen prices side-by-side with the US version cheaper because of a Canon rebate. Here's an example: http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …F_S_17_55mm_f_2​_8_IS.html (external link)

I was looking on Stop and Shop Digital at the EF 100-400 and it is on sale for $779.00 and says Imported but you buy one that has USA it's 1599.00, just curious the difference and are they kosher? Thanks glasd to be here...REAU
