I have been told the same thing. But like several previous posters, I have
been using nothing by gray market Tri-X for several years with absolutely no
problems. I would, however, be a bit nervous about gray market chrome, where
temperature extremes can pose much more of a threat.

I have heard the gray market stuff may  have been subject to temperature
extremes while the USA stuff has been temperature controlled. No
personal knowledge either way.,
