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 have the digital copy of this book and it is great to quickly search and find an area you want to refresh or dive deeper into. Being able to copy and paste code as a starting point quickly too is great. As mainly a user of T-SQL, this book was easy to follow and get understand the benefits of PostgreSQL and the different syntax.Its comprehensive coverage, practical examples, and strong focus on security make it an indispensable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals. In addition to security, the book covers scalability, performance optimization, and best practices for managing PostgreSQL databases in production environments. Overall great book to have on hand.

I had the pleasure of reading "Learn PostgreSQL, 2nd Edition" by Packt written by Luca Ferrari and Enrico Pirozzi, which proved to be an enlightening deep dive into the world of PostgreSQL. This edition is particularly timely, given the enhancements introduced in PostgreSQL 16.Right from the outset, the book lays down a solid foundation, welcoming those new to PostgreSQL while also catering to seasoned database professionals by delving into more complex subjects such as advanced indexing, query optimization, and the use of sophisticated data types. The authors' expertise is evident in how they methodically address each topic, illustrating the robust capabilities of PostgreSQL.What sets this book apart is its relevance to modern development environments. It adeptly covers the integration of PostgreSQL with current DevOps practices, including containerization and the concept of treating databases as code - a critical aspect of contemporary database management.The practical approach of the book, with its clear, hands-on examples and case studies, makes it not just a book to read, but a workbook to experience. The exercises provided are well thought out, reinforcing the material covered and enhancing the reader's skill set.In conclusion, my reading of "Learn PostgreSQL, 2nd Edition" was both educational and enjoyable. The authors, Ferrari and Pirozzi, have accomplished the challenging task of creating a guide that is comprehensive yet digestible. This book has earned its place as a go-to resource for anyone aspiring to master PostgreSQL, from beginners to those with an advanced interest in database systems

I haven't worked with PostgreSQL much, so I was interested in diving into this book. The book gives a great overview of all things Postgre. Obviously there is only so much that can be covered without diving deep into each topic, but I think there was enough information in here to know how to work with PostgreSQL.
