Lots of products carry International Warranties. You do normally have to return the product to point of purchase but the warranties are certainly valid. Always worth checkingt he product has an International Warranty when purchasing as you may beed to validate in that Country before you leave.

To the OP - I agree with all others, the savings are not worth it due to duties, freight and risk of damage. It is worth buying smaller things that you can securely pack and hide - with an International Warranty and make sure the price is good so compare exact model numbers. Also, manual is in English along with software and display language (if any)
