    {
      "q": "Why use an Australia-specific calculator instead of a generic one?",
      "a": "It starts with China to Australia route assumptions so sellers can model the lane before adding the exact customs, local delivery, and prep costs from their final workflow."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can this be used for direct Amazon delivery and prep routing?",
      "a": "Yes. Use customs and delivery for the lane-level handoff, then use prep and pallet to model relabeling, palletization, or a prep-center stop."
    },
    {
      "q": "What usually changes the most on this route?",
      "a": "Air rate, LCL rate, local handling, and final delivery scope can all move the total, so sellers should treat the defaults as planning ranges rather than a booking quote."
