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.

This book is a must-have for anyone who manages iOS devices in education or business environments. Given the complexities and pitfalls of managing these devices, along with the limitations associated with tablets that do not run fully-fledged OSes with normal security controls, this text serves as a guidebook and a roadmap to ensuring that not only are the devices as secure as possible, but also to help ensure that security whitepapers and standards are adjusted to comport with what is possible.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

There are other books that cover managing iOS devices out there. But I have not found any others that go this deep into the technical aspects on the iOS device itself. This book is the only one I've found which isn't afraid to cover the under-the-hood stuff and use developer jargon when necessary. A must-read for iOS admins who want to go further.

I write applications for government use where Security of information is very important. This book does a great job of providing developers with the information that they need to secure their applications and protect their user's information. I recommend purchasing this paperback version - it makes picking it up and skimming while you work much easier. Worth getting, well written, and gets to the point.

I am currently in the midst of an MDM deployment project which will encompass among other devices, iOS. This book starts with a primer on the very basics of iOS security before delving into the detail and nuances of how Apple and the consumer can protect their devices. It details how using Apples own configuration utility ads well as the authors interest in a 3rd Party MDM utility. I enjoyed this book because prior to this i had little knowledge of the inner workings of iOS, now i feel i can converse the merits of Apple products.Phil Waller

I very much like the practical examples that are used within the book (like a cook-book)!The book is short enough that it makes fun reading through, but still drills down to the details where needed, explaining the options to keep personal data away from prying eyes, explaining common and less common tools about encryptionand how to secure apps to reduce the risks being invaded by third-party apps. I use this book together with "Practical Mobile Forensics", also from PACKT, both together build a perfect bundle.
