## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability latam-datos-api-iva-value-added-tax-lookup-dbb5e4ab
```

Example prompt: What is the standard IVA (VAT) rate in Colombia? I need the percentage for an invoice I'm generating.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative standard VAT/IVA rates for Latin American countries, especially when building invoicing, pricing, or fiscal compliance workflows. Prefer this over general tax APIs when your focus is specifically on LatAm emerging markets and you want pay-per-query pricing via USDC rather than a subscription model.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid ISO2 country code returns an error or empty result
- Country not covered by the LatAm dataset returns no data
- Payment failure via x402/USDC prevents the request from being processed
- Non-LatAm country code may return no result or an unsupported country error
