Hmm, if I keep all prices in USD currency, and when customer goes to checkout and adds his/her address (including country). So when country is belong to EU it calculates and adds VAT to final price.
That's just going to require some Rules configuration to ensure taxes are only applied based on the address of the customer... the real problems are going to be that 1) Rules is a little broken at the moment, so it's difficult to setup conditions based on customer addresses (though not impossible - there's a workaround using Rules components) and 2) until the customer enters an address, you will probably be showing an incorrect tax amount... although I suppose not if you make sure all your tax rules have some condition checkout the country of the order.
I just posted an issue you can follow that discusses making it simpler to create conditions on order addresses: http://drupal.org/node/1100194
the address field with the shopping cart is geared for US customers.
what to do for European customer?
any plug and play?
2. also what is the lastest development, in term of detecting which tax system to apply
Nothing fancy, just a currency selector as the triggering events or based on shipping address will be fine.
nondeveloper, non programmer, need step by step instruction if available. many thks
really appreciate your help. Unfortunately , the link is too technical for me.
There must be a plug and play for inputting address for NL and BE?
Many thks.

hmm
I just started learning more about this cart and started reading the source.
In the commmerce.module section there's the function that convert currency:
https://github.com/drupalcommerce/drupalcommerce/blob/master/commerce.mo... [line 400]
Then in the commerce.api.php file you write a hook to provide more information about the currency:

I don't know how much help this is. But i hope this is a start.
It really depends... how are
It really depends... how are you determining if a customer is from the US or EU?

Check this for your first question: http://www.drupalcommerce.org/faq/address-format
I don't understand your second question, can you explain a little more?
Thanks
