(3) Regional Availability & Pricing (RAAP) feature, previously limited to select countries, is now available to a much wider list, covering dozens of nations including Thailand, Vietnam, India, Brazil, UAE, and more."

Google updated Merchant Center pricing policies to clarify how import and export costs and merchant-imposed fees must be handled. Merchants must either include merchant-imposed fees and import/export costs in product prices or clearly disclose them, such as in shipping policies, when legally allowed. Government-imposed charges like mandatory taxes or duties that customers pay directly must not be added to feed prices or shipping attributes. The Regional Availability & Pricing (RAAP) feature expanded to cover dozens more countries, including Thailand, Vietnam, India, Brazil, and the UAE. New attribute guidance places installment pricing and energy-efficiency attributes under the [certification] attribute to improve transparency and reduce checkout surprises.
