Country of Origin

Quick question to those in the know - in respect to DSLR's,how do manufacturers know which country the Camera was bought from?
In particular Canon 7d - is it purely and only down to the serial number on the camera or are there other markers do you think?

Serial numbers - ranges are recorded to show which country they were shipped to.

Some Canons have different names depending on their country of sale - Rebel (USA, I think) and Kiss (Japan?)

The Canon Kiss. What a silly name.

Thanks for the replies, specifically for the 7d I think it must be the serial no. only?
