I believe, in the US, that law requires a manufacturer to honor the warranty
you were given when you purchased the item, no matter what country you
purchased it in, if the company has "presence" in the US.  In other words,
Leica gives a one year "International Warranty" with something you, say, get
from Hong Kong.  Leica here in the US has to honor that 1 year warranty.

Leica US and Canada, from what I hear, will honor the one year International
Warranty here, BUT will take FOREVER, like six months, to perform said
repairs, intentionally.

Please note the "I believe" and "I hear".  I do not know this first hand.
