My best reply is since They were purchased in in the US at a normal retail outlet they are US models for sale in the US. BestBuy is the defacto outlet for general merchandise including photography items in this city. That is the only proof that these items are meant for sale in the US. If there is another method of identification please advise.

I believe the serial number on each item would begin with "US".
i want to know the benefits buying Us models or not , i understand during the warranty period but after you have to pay repairs anyway. in this case items have been purchased officially in a chain store .
i have many lenses not us models and when i needed a repair i had no problem at all , is only question to pay the repairers

Manufacturers won't fix a "gray market" camera so you have to find an independent dealer who can/will do it. Unfortunately they are becoming fewer and far between which may need you to ship it out rather than just drive over, drop it off and then pick it up.
You have to decide if the added inconvenience in case something does go wrong is worth saving some money. I can say that when I was living in France, I bought some Nikon lenses from an approved store (FNAC) and kept the receipt. I had a problem with one of lenses and contacted Nikon. They said as long as I could produce a copy of the receipt, they would honor the warranty which they did.

You are saying repairs within warranty period but after ? I bought my lenses in Italy , Spain, Us , Germany and within the warranty period given mandatory by the supplier 1 or 2 years according the country Nikon is forced by laws to repair products since on this there is their brand notwithstanding where you can buy the product showing the proof of purchase after this period every official Nikon importer can extend the warranty only on products purchased within the official network , for other after the manufacturer warranty period every repair have to be paid
