No comments in this aspect at all, however from the USA Davis Site - 
with special reference to the _last paragraph:
_
>
> Davis Instruments' resellers provide the most extensive selection of 
> products and offer outstanding service and support throughout a 
> weather station's life. Davis is proud to refer our international 
> customers to the reseller in their country.
>
> Davis warrants its products sold in the U.S.A. for one year after date 
> of purchase. This warranty is not valid outside of the U.S.A., but our 
> international resellers often offer their own warranty for products 
> they sell. They are under no obligation to provide service or support 
> for any products they did not sell.

> Many countries stipulate that wireless weather equipment must transmit 
> on specific radio frequencies. In many cases, only an authorized 
> reseller can provide the proper wireless product for their country. 
> Products made for sale in the U.S.A. and Canada cannot be legally used 
> in the EU, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries who follow 
> different guidelines.
