Mavic 4 overseas units vs USA units

Now that Mavic 4's are shipping from Amazon, BH and Adorama, will there be any difference from the US versions outside of owning care refresh? I found one that popped up on FB marketplace and the owner said it was purchased from Adorama. Seems strange to buy and sell so quickly, so of course im concerned its a drone from over seas and basically grey market. Ive asked to see the receipt. What are any indicators the drone may be from overseas or used more than a hand full of flights.

All M4P drones are from overseas, none of them were built here in the US, none of them were shipped here to the US since DJI did not ship the M4P to the US starting from launch day.

I would never buy a drone on FB marketplace as long as drones at good prices are being sold on eBay. Anyone can "create" a receipt.

Yes, but Adorama could easily verify the legitimacy of the receipt and the purchase from them, based off the receipt in a phone call.

Thanks I had no idea that the US didn't make Chinese drones...I think you know what I meant. Anyways I think what you meant is theres nothing on a Adorama receipt that links a drone to that receipt. So receipt are basically useless. good to know.
