Going back to Amazon, this brings up another issue: Amazon’s resellers sometimes claim (or try to imply) that gray market imports are domestic versions of the products being sold. I sometimes see gray market cameras being presented as domestic; I only know they’re gray market because of the price, and because the seller is a known gray market reseller.

This isn’t an Amazon issue, per se. I remember shopping for SLR’s from the back pages of Popular Photography in the 1980’s - all of the best deals were gray market imports.

Even large retailers like Costco do this sometimes.
