Hello,
I own a Canon EOS 700D with serial number 205032******. Could you please tell me which country this camera was manufactured in?
Thank you for your assistance.

Greetings ,
You cannot tell definitively where a camera body was manufactured based solely on its serial number. Best guess based on the information you provided. EOS 700D / T5i
Was manufactured in Japan or Taiwan. Check the label on the bottom of the camera near the tripod mount. It will probably say Japan.
The EOS 700D was released in 2013 and is now out of support.

Actually it seems like it is possible to find out. For example:
What I understand the two first digits are months from first production, third digit the region, the last four digits are monthly serial nr. In between you have the factory and quality class.

Why does it matter where it was manufactured?
