What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

A complete guide for dummies and experienced developers that need a "good-programming" reference book. Useful for managers and architets too

Amazon Verified review

Jason Down Sep 28, 2015

Disclaimer: I was given a free electronic review copy of this book.This book begins with an interesting perspective on design consideration and requirements for various types of applications and performance aspects (latency vs. throughput vs. resource usage etc.). There are a few case studies that bring some substance to these concepts.In Chapter 2, the book moves on to an overview of different architectures and patterns and performance considerations in relation to them. I found this section to be quite informative and interesting. A lot of ground is covered however, so some of the information seems a little too shallow.Chapter 3 moves on to the .Net CLR (Common Language Runtime) internals as they relate to performance. This includes topics such as memory management, garbage collection, threading and exception handling. You get a lot of code samples in an attempt to show how these things work. Again, a lot of ground is covered, so some samples feel rushed and not fully explained (especially if you are new to any of these concepts). To the author's credit, there are often links provided for further explanation.Chapters 4 and 5 cover asynchronous programming (various models and patterns) and parallel programming. I found these two chapters to be the most interesting and in-depth. There was a whirlwind of code samples which seemed to be more complete than in the previous sections.Chapters 6-8 go into programming for math/engineering (data type performance, real time applications, Fourier transformations), database querying (ADO.NET vs. Entity Framework) and programming for big data (grid computing and an overview of Microsoft Azure). Except for a few useful nuggets of wisdom, I found these chapters to be too much of a general overview and less interesting.The book ends with an overview of code performance analysis, profiling and testing. This chapter was also a little brief, although I found the information about the tools in Visual Studio to be interesting.Overall, I think the book is worth the read because some chapters are great. However, the book as a whole seems to be more of a general introduction and overview to performance programming. It tries to cover too much material for its size. Either more pages should be added or some of the weaker chapters should be pulled in order to focus on the more interesting and important topics.

Unfortunately the book didn't meet my expectations. I was expecting in-depth content, describing the good and bad practices in different scenarios supported by measurements, pitfalls to be aware of, options to consider. Instead I only got a high-level overview of several performance related aspects, at best.The introductory chapters are very generic and subjective with very little to support the author's point of view. The remainder of the book covers a broad selection of topics, all of them related to performance in one way or another: Common Language Runtime internals, parallelism and asynchronicity, data access, distributed computing. As a consequence, the author only manages to mention what needs to be considered when thinking about performance, but gives very little guidance or useful advice. Occasional inaccuracies in text and errors in samples decrease the value even further. On top of that, the author's use of English language can make the book more difficult to read.I really can't recommend the book to anyone, at least not for the full price. At a discount, it might be of limited use to someone, who's just starting to learn about performance, before moving on to more advanced resources. It should still be read with a grain of salt, though.
