You will most probably get a different version of the same product (cheaper and worse) compared to one sold in EU. It takes one market participant to do this and everyone else will have to follow, otherwise consumers will buy the cheapest one.

Yes. We already get different products based on retailer (Walmart gets different versions than direct from manufacturer or other retailers on many products).

There are even claims that Black Friday products are even special runs that are slightly different to lower cost.
