It depends on what you're buying ;; if you're buying an iMac or PowerMac, it must be serviced in the country of origin. the Apple 1-yr limited warranty text can be found in the kbase in article #30284 <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30284> Specifically, it says: > If you have purchased your product in the U.S. or Canada, deliver the > product, at your expense, to any Apple Authorized Service Provider > located in U.S. or Canada.
