'''4.1 Future Charges'''
The Booking.com Charges API allows setting date-based fees/taxes using '''FROM''' and '''TO'''.
'''Format:'''
<pre>
FEENAME=amount FROM=YYYY-MM-DD TO=YYYY-MM-DD
</pre>
'''Example:'''
<pre>
AIRPORTSHUTTLEFEE=12 FROM=2026-03-09 TO=2026-05-31
</pre>
The fee applies only within the defined date range. Outside this period, the previous value applies.
'''Notes:'''
* '''FROM''' is optional (defaults to today) 
* '''TO''' is optional (applies indefinitely if not set) 
* Both formats are supported:
<pre>
FEENAME 10
FEENAME=10
</pre>
'''Unsetting a charge:'''
<pre>
FEENAME=0 FROM=YYYY-MM-DD
</pre>
'''Rules:'''
* Charges cannot overlap 
* Avoid using past dates (may cause unexpected results) 
* On import, '''FROM''' is only set if it is in the future 
'''Booking.com UI behavior:'''
Updating charges may create duplicate entries instead of replacing existing ones.
Recommended flow:
1. Remove existing charges 
2. Sync 
3. Add new values 
4. Sync again
