Avatcado API

• One endpoint for 32 countries - EU, UK, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Australia. No need to integrate each upstream separately
• Free VAT rates for 31 countries - standard, reduced, and zero rates with no quota impact
• Automatic input normalization - pass "nl 123.456.789 b01" and get NL123456789B01
• Built-in caching, stale fallback and national registry fallback - fast responses for repeat lookups on every plan, and on Pro and Business an answer from the national tax register when a VIES member state is down
