You can get around this to a certain extent by buying DJI care refresh which can be used in the U.S., Canada, EU countries, the UK, Australia, Hong Kong and Mainland China https://www.dji.com/service/djicare-refresh/info
I just received my Air from GlobalCentral UK. £800 Arrived on Wednesday. I ordered on the Friday. Unfortunately it only comes with a one year warranty from Global not DJI. So I am hoping not to find out. PS when it was delivered I was a bit worried I would have extra Customs Duty but thankfully nothing.
