Context

When all rules for postcodes are disabled TaxJar show message in order calculation section: SKIPPED - Could not validate address postal code. This error is caused because the module expects the country has at least one rule for the postcode. When all rules for the country are disabled it can not validate postcode.

Performance

• Make an order with a valid US zip code;
• Go to Admin Panel and check the TaxJar Calculation section in Order

Hi @serzhik, if you would like to allow any zip code format in the US, is it maybe possible to only include a rule like:

<code id="pattern_any" active="true" example="Any text">.*</code>

instead of removing all rules? I haven't tested this solution, but this code has been unchanged for a number of years.
