## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need accurate, structured EU VAT rate data for a specific member state, especially for compliance, invoicing, or pricing workflows. Prefer this over scraping the European Commission website directly, as data is hand-verified and served as a clean, machine-readable API response.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not found or not an EU member state — returns 404 or error
- Non-EU country supplied — endpoint only covers EU member states
- Stale data if European Commission updates rates before hand-verified table is refreshed
