    As long as it's a standard 3 prong interface, then no, it doesn't matter.

    If you live in a country where the plugs contain fuses, you should also make sure that it is of the correct rating.

    Wont make a difference unless you have a situation like what ssssssssss suggested. I got one from China because I didn't have an EU one for when I moved. Worked fine.
