CSV exports
Open a TaxPack CSV with accented labels intact
Tax-rate labels and other exported text can contain accented characters that spreadsheets may misread if encoding is guessed.
Inspect the source record
Keep the original download and inspect it with a spreadsheet import option that recognizes UTF-8 text and comma-separated columns.
Build a focused report
TaxPack emits UTF-8 CSV with a byte-order mark; import rather than blindly opening it if your spreadsheet mangles text.
Read the result
Preserving the original file lets you distinguish an encoding display problem from a change in the WooCommerce source label.
A concrete example
A label containing Québec should remain readable after import and should still carry the same rate ID and mapped type.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not fix garbled text by editing source order tax lines until the file's encoding has been checked.
