## How to call it through Zero

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a concise, verified cultural note about business negotiation style for a specific country — ideal for pre-meeting briefings, sales training, or cross-cultural agent workflows. Prefer it over general LLM knowledge when you need a structured, sourced, and consistently formatted single-field fact. Best used alongside other GlobalRules fields (e.g. tipping customs, visa requirements) when building comprehensive country profiles.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 404 or empty result — only 106 countries are covered
- Invalid ISO country code format returns a validation error
- Field not available for a given country returns null or missing value
- Service cold-start latency on Render free tier may cause occasional slow first response
- Stale data if the verification timestamp is old and cultural norms have shifted

## How this service works

One specific fact for one country: VAT/GST rate, public holidays by country, visa requirements for travelers, tipping customs, power plug type, minimum wage, corporate tax, digital nomad visa, customs duty-free allowance and more. 138 countries, 55 fields, verified sources. Example: /api/v1/country/JP/vat

## Output

A short text field (negotiation_style_note) describing the cultural approach to business negotiations in the specified country, along with the ISO country code and a timestamp indicating when the data was last verified. Covers dimensions such as communication directness, relationship-building expectations, hierarchy, and pace of deal-making.
