Although I don't know if this has been tested, I'm not so sure that manufacturers can so easily weasle out of a warranty for a product simply because it was labeled for sale in another country.

You have expressed and implied warranty rights on products, regardless of what their actual warranty paperwork days.

It may not be that there's no warranty, it may be that it's in the country the product was designated for. If I buy a South Korea only Samsung product, they may say "call the warranty number in Seoul to arrange to ship it to the repair depot in Seoul, and by the way that line is Korean language only. You're also going to need your receipt from an authorized seller so we can be sure it didn't 'fall off a truck.'"
