I don't know if $item is in scope in that code, quite frankly. But
it would be in the usertag, so just do:

CommonAdjust  [insc-price]

UserTag insc_price Interpolate
UserTag insc_price Order code quantity inscription
UserTag insc_price Routine <<EOR
sub {
   my ($sku, $quantity, $inscription) = @_;

   $sku		||= $item->{code};
   $quantity	||= $item->{quantity};
   $inscription	||= $item->{inscription};

   my $price = $Tag->data( {
         table => 'products',
         field => 'price',  
         key => $sku,
     });

   return $quantity*($price + $quantity * 1.50 * length($inscription));
}
EOR
