As I said, I couldn't find any source that said that. In fact, the best I could find said quite the opposite:

Do I have the same rights if I buy something online from a non-EU website as from an EU-based business?
If you buy the goods from a non-EU website, your EU consumer rights don’t automatically apply. If something goes wrong with an item or you wish to return it, it may be more difficult to get the issue resolved. Check the seller’s website for terms and conditions. -https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees/faq/index_en.htm

And overall it was "may this" and "possibly that", nowhere could I find a definite "You are entitled to a 2-year warranty" or "you are not".
