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.

As a professional who has managed a team of geospatial analysts and developers, I have a good understanding of the concepts and techniques utilized, albeit from years ago when utilizing the cloud was cutting edge. This book is very well written, easy to follow, and the early chapters help build a framework of understanding by going through some of the basics of cloud computing and benefits of geospatial data in the cloud.As you progress through the chapters to the more complex topics, the detailed explanations, screen shots, along with real-world examples, make it easy for readers to understand, quickly get up to speed, and utilize the knowledge effectively. It is a refreshing blend of both theory and real-world implementation, making it a great resource that you will want to keep within arm’s reach.I highly recommend this book for beginners learning how to build geospatial solutions on AWS to seasoned professionals looking to dust off or refresh antiquated techniques that were once bleeding edge.

Geospatial Data Analytics on AWS is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of managing geospatial data and developing location-based applications in the cloud. This comprehensive book offers a clear and accessible approach to understanding geospatial data in the context of AWS, while providing practical insights into designing and constructing data lake architectures specifically tailored for geospatial data.The book begins by delving into the utilization of purpose-built AWS databases such as Redshift and Aurora PostgreSQL to efficiently store and analyze geospatial data. Readers will then explore the powerful capabilities of services like DynamoDB and Athena, which offer specialized geospatial functions for indexing and querying data. The author expertly illustrates the benefits of managing geospatial data in the cloud through a range of practical examples.Throughout the book, readers are exposed to valuable techniques for analyzing and visualizing data using popular programming languages like Python and R. Furthermore, the integration of QuickSight enables the sharing of derived insights, while the integration of platforms like Open Data on AWS, OpenStreetMap, and ArcGIS enhances efficiency and promotes continuous learning.By the end of the book, readers will possess the necessary tools and knowledge to build and manage their own geospatial data lakes on AWS. Whether you are a GIS developer, GIS analyst, data analyst, or data scientist, this book equips you with the skills needed to leverage geospatial data in cloud-centric applications. While a basic understanding of geographic concepts is recommended, no prior experience with the cloud is necessary to comprehend the concepts presented.The book features a well-structured table of contents, guiding readers through topics ranging from foundational geospatial data concepts to the utilization of advanced AWS services. Each chapter is filled with practical insights and real-world examples, making it easy for readers to grasp and apply the knowledge effectively.Geospatial Data Analytics on AWS is a must-have resource for individuals seeking to unlock the potential of geospatial data in the cloud.

Two themes kept coming to mind as I read this. First, all data is geospatial data (meaning there are geospatial aspects for every datum). Second, working with geospatial data used to be really hard but these guys make it simple and straight forward.The book is very practical. It goes step by step, teaching the reader how to do standard analytics using AWS. There are lots of useful screen shots, making it easy to follow along.The book is based on AWS services and describes the relevant services throughout. My favorite part of the book is the architectural considerations they include at the end of every chapter. These highlight concepts from the AWS well architected framework like security, cost optimization, and resiliency.The book focuses more on AWS tools than specific algos of methods for geospatial processing. This book is about running geospatial analytics systems, not about developing geospatial ML projects. So I found myself wanting more on the analytics mathy side. Alas, there is another book about geospatial analytics with python from packt that likely covers this. I was pleasantly surprised that they covered R and Hadoop (called AWS EMR). These two frameworks are still widely used for geospatial analysis and it is great to see how existing methods can be deployed on AWS.Overall, this is the companion book for anyone building geospatial solutions on AWS. Follow its steps and you will end up in the right place.

If you want to enhance your capabilities of GISanalysis in AWS this is a good book to have and get started in the subject. I would rate it as being a good purchase. Make sur le your IS department has their own copy!
