Province attribution
Check a WooCommerce province code against its label
WooCommerce stores province codes while an administrator may see a full province name in an address form.
Inspect the source record
Inspect the actual order address and its country together, then compare it with the group label displayed by TaxPack.
Build a focused report
Run a short report for that source order and use the order ID in the detail export to verify the displayed province group.
Read the result
A normalized Canadian province group should still trace to the original selected address; keep that link when explaining a code or name difference.
A concrete example
A stored BC code and displayed British Columbia label are two representations of the same order address, not separate provinces.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not aggregate on free-text address labels from a spreadsheet if they conflict with the verified WooCommerce source fields.
