This is a good point. I think the key is to make sure the dealer you are buying from is an authorized dealer (listed on Nikon and Canon websites). If you are buying from an unauthorized dealer, the safe bet is to assume that it is grey market.
Now, as far as I know, some authorized dealers I have dealt with never sell any grey market gear, and exclusively sell US gear. Examples include Amazon, Photo Craft, Samy's, etc. Some other authorized dealers like Adorama and B&H do sell both US and grey market, but they always explicitly indicate whether an item is grey market, and at least in my experience with B&H, they mention "US" in the item description on the receipt. So it just becomes a matter of trusting the dealers, and frankly I don't see much of an issue there with well-established authorized dealers.
