DELL Latitude C800 - Made in USA or not

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Dear All members,

I had an old "DELL Latitude C800 P-III 850MHz 15" Monitor " laptop.
I sent it from Canada to my relative in Iran 3 days ago.
The Canada border officer in the airport called me today and said that
your laptop was seized because it is US made and you can not send it to
Iran.
I am pretty sure that under the laptop was written "Made in China".
I called their main office and they said if it wrote made in China
there is no problem even if it was Dell. The officer insists that it
wrote "Manufactured in USA".
I don't have access to my laptop. I would like to ask you if you have
this type of laptop or even have access to this please see under it and
confirm what was written. If you can take a picture of the sticker and
send it to me I will be really appreciated.
My newsgroup email is tomj19602000@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hassan
