Why are imported DSLR lens are cheaper than USA lens?
I'm trying to get an everyday 18-105 mm Nikon lens, but I was told that the image quality is not as good as the 18-55 mm and or 55-200 mm lens. Why is that?
Two separate questions...
Imported (AKA "Grey" market) items are cheaper due to packaging and warranty. A lot of the grey market items come in just a plain box (and may or may not include documentation), and how the warranty is handed is different.
Canon may or may not honor the warranty...if it is a lens, they probably will. If it is a camera, they will insist that it is returned to the original country of sale for repair. Which means that you have to return it to wherever you bought it from and let them handle it (which could take several months).
You need to be aware, that Nikon USA will not service a direct import item at all, whether the customer is willing to pay or not.
On the lenses... whether it is Nikon, Canon, whoever...Not all lenses are created equal (and it is normally reflected in the price). The three biggest factors are the element quality, type of materials, and the aperture size.
