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 recently read "Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure AZ-204 Exam Guide" and was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail and organization of the material. The book does an excellent job of covering all of the essential topics that are required for success when developing and maintaining cloud-based solutions on Azure.One of the things I appreciated most about this book is the clear and concise writing style. The authors clearly have a deep understanding of the Azure platform and have done an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable sections. The accompanying practice questions and exercises were also very helpful in reinforcing the material. Another aspect of this book that I really appreciated was the focus on practical skills. The authors not only provide a thorough overview of the concepts covered on the exam, but they also offer tips and best practices for developing and maintaining cloud-based solutions on Azure in the real world.Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the AZ-204 exam or looking to gain a better understanding of how to develop solutions on Azure. It is a valuable resource that will undoubtedly help anyone looking to succeed in this field.

It's been a while that I had passed my Azure developer certification exam. Hence, I was curious to find out what new topics had been introduced as well as refresh my knowledge on few of the areas where I haven't had a chance to work upon recently.Sharing the key callouts from my reading of this book:Chapter 04 - Implementing Azure Functions - This is a very important chapter to understand the different ways, how Azure Functions can be utilized to implement a use case. The book covers the topic of Stateful Durable functions with good degree of details.Chapter 07 - Understanding the Microsoft Identity Platform - In my experience, I had observed that the topic of implementing identity and OAUTH is not very well understood by the developer fraternity. In this chapter, the author has covered all the supported OAuth flows by Azure AAD, and the experience of end users when a specific type of authorization flow had been implemented for the solution.Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting Solutions by using metrics and Log data - Another very useful chapter to understand the importance of using the available Logging and Monitoring toolset of Azure to maintain a healthy service. The screenshots and diagrams shared will give the readers good grasp of the toolset capabilities.In the chapters, Chapter 11 (API Management), Chapter 12 (Developing Event Based Solutions) & Chapter 13 (Developing Message Based solutions) the author has covered the most common implementation patterns around building modern applications. The developers can easily extend and use these patterns while building their own solutions.Overall, I found the book to be a very useful preparation guide for the AZ 204 exam.With lot of examples and self-review questions, the readers can readily test their understanding of the concepts presented in the different chapters.

Whether you're studying for the AZ-204 exam, just starting out with Azure, or even building on your existing skills, this is a great book to have to hand. It covers most of the common Azure PaaS services that you're likely to need to know, as well as going into detail on important subjects such as identity that so many other books skim over. I was given this book as a review copy, as I worked with Paul as he was putting it together and know how much hard work and attention to detail went into this by both him and Alex Ivanov. I would highly recommend adding it to your collection if you're developing on Azure at any level.
