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.

"Automating DevOps, with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" is a book that I found really refreshing. While GitLab's official documentation covers the content this book presents it in a cohesive manner. It does have a bit of a tone, which's to be expected for enthusiasts of GitLab. However what I liked about it is that it uncovered some potentials of GitLab and helped me update my approach to CI pipelines. The advanced concepts are explained well better than what you would find in the official docs.This book is perfect for newcomers to GitLab or readers who might not be very tech savvy. Its structured in a way that makes it easy to understand for those who are just starting with DevOps. If you've already gone through the GitLab documentation you might find some parts of the book less novel.As someone with experience in software development automation is something that I focus on. This book provides a roadmap of how DevOps has evolved from processes to using GitLab. It starts with an introduction to Git. Then walks you through methodologies and how they tie into the world of CI/CD using GitLab. The examples provided are practical. Include one called "Hats for Cats."If you're looking for guidance on building secure software through automation, this book is truly invaluable. Whether you're new, to coding or an experienced veteran this guide is definitely worth having. Definitely a recommended book.
