    },
    {
      "q": "Is Italy import VAT always 22%?",
      "a": "The standard Italian VAT rate is commonly 22%, but reduced rates, exemptions, reliefs, and accounting treatment can change the actual import VAT result."
    },
    {
      "q": "Why is the duty rate editable?",
      "a": "EU duty depends on TARIC classification, origin, preferential treatment, quotas, suspensions, anti-dumping duty, and other tariff measures."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does this replace an Italian customs broker?",
      "a": "No. It is a planning calculator for landed-cost estimates. Final Italy import charges should be confirmed with TARIC data, the importer of record, and a licensed broker."
