Hi.. I bought an Apple 30W charger from Apple Store in amazon.com and I would like to know if it is genuine.. Can you help me to compare. I was looking for the label in apple web site but I find nothing.

If you purchased from Amazon’s in-house Apple Store (rather than a third party reseller through Amazon), then it is genuine, as Amazon itself is an Apple Authorized Reseller. They wouldn’t want to lose that status from doing shady things.
Other than that, any visual markings can be copied, so only missing/wrong identifiers can point to oddities.
Apple model number “A2164” is indeed a 30W power adapter.
What specifically makes you question the genuineness of this item?

There was a 2018 re-design of, or new components for, the 30W adapter, so the later version got a new model number. Both are valid model numbers for power adapters.
Great! Thank you so much.
Hi, thanks for answering. Yes, I bought directly to amazon, sold and shipped by amazon.com. My doubt came when I read somewhere in the Apple website that the model number for Apple 30w charger adapter is A1882 instead A2164. Later, I saw a review from someone with the Apple 30w charger it came with his McBook and it printed with the A1882 model and “assembled in India”. So, which one is the correct model number? Are the both genuine Apple charger?
How to check if my Apple charger is authentic?
