The serial number H***XJ does not provide enough information to determine the country where your MacBook Air was manufactured. 


Apple’s current documentation uses the serial number to identify the Mac and its model, but does not provide a method for determining the manufacturing country from the serial number. (Apple Support)


The part number is more useful for identifying the Mac and its regional variant. 


Apple states that the variable portion of the part number differs by country or region. For the 2026 MacBook Air M5, Apple lists the applicable part-number families for both the 13-inch and 15-inch models.


However, the part number should not be treated as proof of the physical assembly location.


If your question is specifically “Where was this particular MacBook assembled?”, the most direct evidence would be an “Assembled in …” marking on the original packaging or product labeling.


You can find your part number by opening Apple menu  → About This Mac → System Information → Hardware. Apple also provides instructions here: Apple Support — Find your Mac model name and serial number


If you give us the full part number from your M5 MacBook Air, we can help determine what Apple identifies its regional variant as and explain separately what that does—and does not—tell us about its manufacturing origin.
