Complex Flat Rate Shipping

A client has a flat rate shipping table.
It is grouped into three zones (US-only, multiple states per zone), and then by quanity of items (1-2, 3-10, 10+).
Plus, if an item costs more than a certain $ amount, it counts as (2) items.

Examples:
1. Customer is from OH and orders 2 items (under $15) it should go in the zone with OH and use the 1-2 item rate for that zone.
2. Customer is from KY and orders 2 books under $5 and one book over $15.. it should go to the zone with KY and calculate as 4 items for shipping.

Between the zones and item-range it gives me 9 options (plus the >$15 item count issue).

I have Drupal Commerce Kickstart and the Shipping and Flat Rate Shipping modules installed.
I created a computed field (using the computed field module) in my product that sets a 1 or 2 depending on the price.
I am not sure if I can use this field in drupal commerce rules to help calculate the shipping rate.

Any ideas on where to start?

In order for rules to understand and react to your fields of an entity, you need to add a condition "Entity has field" and then you can create another condition on any field for that condition.

dear joshmiller,
I can't add the "Entity has field" condition in a shipping rate rule, because I can't choose my product's custom-field, I can only select "commerce-order" field.

Let my explain. My shipping cost depends from state (in shipping information, rule work), from number of products in a order (work!) and from size of product-box (S, M, L), so my product type have a custom field (field_box). Now I can't understand ho apply this rule!

Thanks
