How to check US vice Import for Nikon Lens?

[Jim Poor]

Anyone know a way to do this? Nikon won't do it over the phone, and not all US lenses have US in the serial.

Good question, I hope that someone has a reall answer on this question, I have been told only Nikon service can tell for sure.

Just to update, I finally called B&H and had them track down my order from four years ago to get the answer.

Nobody would look it up by serial #, but I'm 99% sure that the capability exists in one form or another. The local shop won't touch an import lens, so they have to know some how.
