Your post makes no sense. What is much easier to understand than the manual?

Return it... It's a gray market camera. There is no regular factory warranty. Besides that, it is old technology. It came on the market in 2017. Would you by a 2017 car or TV unless it was dirt cheep?
I drive a 2005 Honda S2000, and I hope I never have to trade it for anything I could ever afford. The only disappointing thing about this 18 year old vehicle derives from my excitement upon reading the reviews way back then; they led to me expect that driving this car would be more fun than sex. I can report that driving it is a whole lot of fun, but it is not more fun than sex; on the other hand, I pretty much get to drive it whenever I want.
So, yes, I might buy a 2017 car, if it was the right car, and I could afford it.BTW, I'd send the camera back.

i have never needed service for any camera I have owned. I do not plan to sell or trade this model on an updated one. I will work it to death if my death doesn't come first.
If you put it that way ...
... I sure hope the camera dies first.

I remember when I arrived at college as a freshman in computer science. We sent a postcard to the bookstore of our choice with a copy of my schedule, and they had a shopping bag of books for me when I arrived on campus. When I emptied the bag onto my bunk, my attention was of course drawn to the IBM manual ….. after leafing through it, I was about ready to change majors. Manuals have greatly improved since then, but still, almost any other explanation is better.

Throwing my 2¢ worth into the pot: The D7500 is a fine camera. If you decide to keep it I think you will be well pleased with it. It is very reliable and, frankly, you probably won't ever miss having the warranty.
Nikon manuals aside, Davie Busch has a very good book out specifically for the D7500. I would buy that before I got the Nikon manual. David Busch's book is available on Amazon, new and used.
Good luck.

Clicking on the link you provided got me to the page where the D7500 is listed. On the right side of that page is a button for downloading a very nice PDF of the standard manual in English. I did it and, lacking only a D7500, I have ready to startshooting.
If that does not work for you, let me know and I will email you a copy.

What is the return policy? probably 30 days. If it breaks, Nikon USA won't repair it but maybe a small camera shop that does camera repairs will. Chances are, you will not have any problems. But if you do???

I think the listing should be very clear. Not sure B&H is selling items listed as "grey market". B&H seems to have renamed the items as "NUW", "non USA warranty" witch I find to be very tricky.

People here seem to be expecting troubles. It is good to be prepared in case things go wrong, but why not expect many years of happy and good use.

Return it. Once the BH warranty is up you are on your own. Nikon won't touch it for repair even if you are willing to pay. I wouldn't be comfortable knowing even if I found a repair shop they probably can't get the parts from Nikon. What happens if you drop the camera out of warranty?
If I drop a Nikon, I'd use an older body to finish the job, then buy a new or used replacement body. I'm sure I can find a repair shop in Japan or Hong Kong to ship the damaged body.

But she paid exactly the same as a brand new USA model.
The real question for me is "What is the stocking situation for USA models at other dealers?" As I understand the facts the USA model of the OP's camera was out-of-stock at B&H, so any theoretical price difference between the US and import models would have been irrelevant. And since some DSLRs are being phased out what is the prospect of getting any more USA models?
Typically the B&H warranty mirrors the manufacturer's 1-year warranty (as in this case), and since B&H isn't likely to go anywhere soon, and is sufficiently reputable and financially strong enough to be a trustworthy warrantor, I'd not worry about the difference.
What are B&H's warranty terms?
We cover all manufacturing defects. Duration varies based on the item. Please see the product page and locate the "In the Box" section for duration of coverage. Typically this will match the manufacturer's standard warranty.

So without any real difference in warranty, and since once out-of-warranty the camera can always be sent to B&H for repair, I don't see much reason for a different price. I would note that some retailers, e.g., the infamous Abe's of Maine, offer no warranty at all on import models unless at additional cost.
