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 really like how the author created a series of practical and real-world scenarios for the use of Azure Cognitive Services. No 'hello world' examples here. Just nice realistic examples that build from chapter to chapter. I really like the REST-based API of these PaaS services, too; quite easy to use.

“Practical Guide to Azure Cognitive Services” is like having a knowledgeable friend walk you through the maze of Azure’s AI offerings. As someone who’s always been fascinated by AI but sometimes overwhelmed by the technical jargon, this book was a breath of fresh air. The authors make complex concepts feel approachable, guiding you step-by-step with real-world examples that genuinely resonate.What I loved most was how the book balances theory with hands-on practice. You’re not just reading about Azure Cognitive Services; you’re actually building and experimenting alongside the text. It feels like a workshop in book form, where each chapter is a new project to tackle. By the end, I felt empowered, like I could take on any AI project with confidence.This book isn’t just for the tech-savvy; it’s for anyone eager to dive into AI and cloud computing. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your knowledge, you’ll find this guide to be both informative and incredibly supportive.If you’re curious about the possibilities of Azure and want a resource that’s both practical and encouraging, I highly recommend this book. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I’m sure it will be for you too.

I really enjoyed learning the comprehensive treatment of cognitive services topics from the presentation of the concepts, applicability to fictitious but solid use cases of the Ocean Smart company, and the practical guidance, including even code samples to actually implement our own custom version of the solution. Additionally, both cost awareness and other potential gotchas or feature gaps were highlighted to provide a complete and objective discussion of each service. Kudos to the authors, publishers and everyone else who either inspired contributed to this great work and thank you! :-) - Preston K. Parsard

If I had this book before I started working with Cognitive Services, I could have saved a lot of time and effort. Having an actual book with chapters is sooo much better than trying to learn this stuff by scraping together blog posts, YouTube clips, and googling documentation.The authors have a breezy, readable style, yet they're very thorough. They start high-level by helping you cost-justify your ACS project, then explain the principles behind each service, then walk you through case studies of an actual company.Don't be intimidated when you see the book weigh in at over 700 pages: the individual chapters are short, and there's lots of screenshots and diagrams. I purchased the Kindle edition so I could get away from my desk and just read, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I'm entitled to a free PDF download version, so I can have their screenshots up on my screen while I work through the examples.Disclaimer, I'm primarily interested in text processing (Knowledge Mining, Cognitive Search, Content Moderator, Form Recognizer), and just skimmed the Vision, Speech, etc.This book gave me a huge boost and I would definitely read more from these authors.
