Tamron, Sigma, etc warranty?

Thinking about getting fast lens Tamron 17-50 f2.8 or Sigma abroad as i'm away in 3 weeks and just wondering if the warranty valid in UK?
I know that Nikon warranty valid worldwide but not sure about the rest.

Thanks

Sigma wont honour grey imports. You have to declare them and pay the duty. No idea on the Tamrons.

Tamron will honour a lens bought elsewhere in the world.
The 28-75 that I bought 2-3 years ago was sent back to their UK distributors for calibration, and it was all done under warranty.
All I had to do was provide proof of purchase. In my case it was a Japanese receipt, so it's lucky that they had a Japanese intern who could read the fax that I sent in.

That's good to know.
Might get Tamron then

Thanks a lot
