This is a Ruby application that calculates the total price and sales tax for a list of purchased items based on predefined tax rules.
- Applies a 10% sales tax to non-exempt items.
- Applies a 5% import duty to imported goods.
- Rounds tax amounts to the nearest 0.05.
- Generates a receipt with itemized costs, total sales tax, and total price.
- Includes an interactive mode for user input.
- Contains RSpec tests to verify correctness.
