Import Duty
The import statement is used to import the duty module from the Python library. The duty module provides functions for calculating duties on goods.
Here is an example of how to import the duty module:
pythonimport duty
Once the module is imported, you can use the functions provided by the duty module:
pythonduty.calculate_duty(price, country)
where:
priceis the price of the good.countryis the country of origin of the good.
Here is an example of how to calculate the duty on a good:
pythonduty_amount = duty.calculate_duty(100, "USA")print(duty_amount)
Output:
10.0
This code will calculate the duty on a good of $100 that is originating from the United States and print the result, which is $10.0.
