I always try to use universal inlet with built-in EMI filter. Makes things = easier. Then the customer uses whatever power cord is available in their country. We had to make sure that the Power supply accepted 85-265VAC 50-60Hz. Tricky parts were for Japan (100V min) and Australia (265 max) at each end = of the power range.
