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.

I am a pretty experienced developer (8-9 years mostly Java and other JVM-languages) who thought was pretty familiar with TDD, BDD and code design concepts. Unfortunately i was totally wrong ! The book really allowed me to open my eyes and see how much i was missing in these topics. It allowed me to finally understand the blurry line between TDD and BDD, write better tests, design in a more loose-coupled way and finally run-away from unit-tests (class/method-level unit tests) obsession and focus on features-testing as the right level of granularity for tests. The book (i haven't reached the last page yet) really reminds me Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests book but i find it way more easy to read (written by non-native speaker), with complex concepts expressed clearly (always with an example ! ) and with a slightly different test-scope: building "logic/business" layer using BDD (my 2 favorite chapters), then REST API (with business layer being test double/stubbed) and finally UI all developed using test-first approach. That kind of approach seems to match with "Integration Tests Are a Scam" by J.B. Rainsberger.Although I am not js programmer and all examples and tools used in the book are javascript based, I didn't have any problem to read/use them (the author even drives you on installing all tools and shares his best practices on using them) so the book is a really good choice for non-javascript developers who would like to make a deep dive into modern way of building software using tests.I only wish the book was not a softcover...

This book is very well done. He first explains what a test can be the difference in bdd and tdd. It teaches us to structure our tests with a practical case. You learn to test multiple browser using Protractor and WebDriver and even a rest web api. This book is to read for those who want to master the tests.

Enrique Amodeo has been so far one of the best tech writers I have found. Neither BDD or TDD was familiar to me, yet in the first chapters of the book I started to understand a lot, even to the point of being myself able to explain to others who also want to learn BDD and have some experience with TDD.This book is a must have if you want to become a better javascript developer. So far my experience has been great, but this doesn't mean that I haven't had my challenges. This is not easy, so keep the good spirits up and trust Amodeo, he is simply the best.

Pretty comprehensive coverage on BDD. I have limited experience in JavaScript, and but it's not difficult to follow at all. The startup example was interesting for me to follow the BDD concepts. Chapters four, five and six on CucumberJS, REST API testing and WebDriverJS were the best for me. Highly recommend to any one interested in BDD in JS or other languages.
