Up to now, the Apple only offered a global warranty for it's mobile machines, like the laptops and the iPod.
This changed on Feb 10th. Here is an extract of the message from Apple:
US/CANADA/EUROPE/LATIN AMERICA/ASIA-PACIFICIn summary, the international guarantee from Apple now covers all their products for the normal warranty period, or for the Apple Care extended warranty.
=============================================
"Global Warranty for All Desktop and Server Products" February 10, 2006
Effective February 11, 2006, Apple will provide global service
coverage for all Apple desktop computers, servers, and displays under
warranty. Beginning February 11, GSX will no longer indicate whether
or not service coverage for desktop and server products is global;
all desktop and server product coverage should be considered global.
You can now, without any problem as a result of importing, have your repair done in your country.
