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.

Are you curious about data analysis but afraid you don't have the chops to learn programming? Looking to upskill and become more valuable in your business unit and ultimately your career? Get. This. Book.I've been in some form of data mining, analytics, data science, machine learning, et al, for more than 15 years. I'm a huge proponent of bringing the tools and skills to everyone, democratizing the process of turning data into value. Andrea's selection of KNIME and Power BI are superb starters for anyone.This book walks readers through the analytical mindset, processes, and powerful partner tools in developing the logic and visualizations that bring data to life, KNIME and Power BI. Andrea makes it easier for anyone with the curiosity and capability to follow step-by-step instructions (with the context as to why you're doing what you're doing), but maybe not the programming experience or the confidence to get started.I highly recommend this book for programmers and non-programmers alike. Programmers can see the benefits of workflow-based development and problem-solving, which is incredibly valuable in the organization of command-line interface (CLI) scripting, even to imagine visualizing the structure of their code before they begin. Non-programmers and beginners are unburdened from the syntactical issues of CLI coding that get visual results, and teach the process of smart workflow development, immediately.Andrea, a tip of the cap.

The “rise of the data” (AKA data is the new oil) is a modern phenomenon due to the increase in compute power, storage at lower costs, and data ingestion and processing at scale capabilities.With the raise in demand to process and visualize more data, the number of tools at one’s disposal is also increasing, especially nowadays, in the age of the Open-Source Software. However, at the same time, it became also progressively more challenging to navigate the waters of the myriad of offerings to build a comprehensive toolchain that would deliver the complete data pipeline: from data ingress to a data story.This book, in my view, really resolves this challenge by demonstrating an efficient use of carefully chosen battle-proven tools: Knime and PowerBI. The book completes the picture even more by immersing into data transformations, Machine Learning, delivering efficient visualizations, reports automation, data story telling, and it does not stop there leaving the road to explore with Python, and other industry proven tools.Well done! Highly recommend it.

I found this a very handy book to supplement an introductory course I recently completed in Data Analytics. Handy and clear black and white illustrations inside. One of the best points, where other Amazon-Printed books seem to often fail on, is the inclusion of an index. In fact, I found the whole layout excellent quality and the descriptive text highly readable as well as educational.

I received a free reviewer's copy of this book. Below is my unbiased review of the book.This book is nothing short of a Godsend. I create content on LinkedIn mostly around no-code/low-code analytics leveraging the open-source KNIME software. People routinely ask me for resources to learn Data Analytics/Data Science. However, it is near impossible to find resources where a programming language is not the primary tool utilized.While I am a huge fan of programming, I strongly disagree with the logic which equates data analytics to programming. Learning data analytics in itself is already challenging. The addition of programming creates an impossible task for many. Furthermore, the obsession with programming cuts out numerous other disciplines with perfect overlap with Data Analytics including Statistics, Psychology, Mathematics, Economics, Physics, etc.Versatile and powerful no-code/low-code platforms remove the unnecessary barrier to succeeding in the field of data analytics, and this book is the perfect bridge between data analytics theory, technology, and practice.In Data Analytics Made Easy, you will find an overview of crucial topics in analytics, ranging from the different kinds of Data Analytics to building ML Models. Andrea also offers advice and practical applications of analytics techniques gained by his decades of experience in the field. Other software such as Tableau and Power BI are also covered, including tips on effective data storytelling. The exploration of KNIME is very detailed and helpful to those new to the software who need a guide, blustered by solid examples, to help them climb the learning curve.Quite frankly, I could rave about this book some more, but I do not want you to have to read an essay. Bottom line, I very strongly recommend this book to my colleagues and others in my network. It is in a league of its own when it comes to helping you learn data analytics with a powerful tool for you to take your career or company's data utilization to the next level.Get it.Really!
