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's narrative transcends merely staying abreast of container technology in cloud management; it pioneers the path and molds the future of cloud development with foresight and understanding. I endorse this book for every cloud developer engaged with or contemplating Kubernetes. By David, Chief Multi-Cloud AI Executive Engineer at SLI.

As Cloud infrastructure, DevOps and Cloud-native architectures continue to develop, running applications on multiple clouds and, thereby, reducing the dependency on a single Cloud provider is likely to become more prevalent. As such, “Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers” ( Packt , 2024) by Subash Natarajan and Jeveen Jacob is an excellent manual to guide you on your journey. This book, while requiring some knowledge of Cloud, is accessible and provides value to developers, development leaders and executives. Ideas and concepts are explained clearly and there are many case studies and guidelines to help readers understand the opportunities at both a strategic and a tactical level.The book is divided into four parts, with the first being an introduction to multi-cloud models, their significance, as well as their challenges and complexities. The principles of cloud-native architecture are outlined, together with the overviews of the core building blocks of microservices, API gateway and service mesh. Part two provides a guide to the process of designing and developing cloud native applications that are optimized for multi-cloud environments. This section covers cloud-native design patterns, domain-driven design, data management and observability, together with detailed architecture diagrams, together with benefits and tradeoffs of the different design approaches.Part three is focused on the management and operations of cloud native, multi-cloud applications, discussing best practices on data management, security and compliance. This part of the book also covers the important topics of troubleshooting multi-cloud applications, as well as maximizing financial value and minimizing operational costs in a multi-cloud environment, which is often not given sufficient focus during the application design and development phase.Part four explores case studies, blueprints and lessons learned from previous cloud native and multi-cloud implementations, providing actionable nuggets that readers can implement in their own projects. Also covered are the practical steps required to successfully implement a multi-cloud application, together with a hands-on exercise of building an e-commerce application with a multi-cloud architecture. Also covered in part four is an exploration of how evolving technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing could impact multi-cloud, and how a focus on continuous learning and development can help to future-proof multi-cloud environments and developer skills.Overall, “Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers” (Packt, 2024) is an excellent guidebook. It offers a high-level view of the different strategies and approaches, and provides real-life case studies showing how corporations have achieved their multi-cloud goals, with lessons learned, implementation details, and how the change created success. If you are looking for a practical companion to join you on your journey to multi-cloud greatness, then this is the book for you.

Getting into the multi-cloud environment seems a lot more challenging than it should be. When you think of on-prem as your server, and cloud as someone else's server, than multi-cloud is several people's servers. The challenge for that is that every individual wants to set up the approach slightly differently. Then, how do you approach the different items to maintain consistency? Its like you were running a windows, a mac, and a Linux machine on your desk. This book does a great job in presenting the use-cases for which things should be multicloud, showing some best practices, and helping you along the way. An excellent reference in bringing all the needed items into the same spot.
