We assume the merchants use 3rd party shipping providers, for example Shippo. Shippos APIs <https://goshippo.com/docs/first-shipment> require some sort of structure in order to calculate the shipping price and print a shipping label. This is quite typical of the shipping service industry. See EasyPost API <https://www.easypost.com/getting-started/python.html#step1> for another example.
Even in cases where this doesn't apply, business intelligence after the
fact is important, and that involves reliably knowing the difference between
Paris and Paris, Texas.
