I haven't done much cross-border shopping (but will start with the dollar this high).. but I think Sigma offers international warranties, but if it's like my Manfrotto warranty it asks that you return it to the place of purchase. I'm not sure on this, but the only TRUE international warranties I've come across are HP and Canon :S Worst case you mail it yourself on your own dollar. But like Senna mentioned many times, I'd be weary about buying 3rd party online. It's luck of the draw wrt getting a good copy. But with the dollar this high, it's definitely a really interesting risk.
