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've known Shawn for about 11 years now, and can say she's one of the best folks in the entire NAV/BC community. Kim certainly compares as well!This book is a lot of work in the making but sheds light on one of the latest technologies within the Microsoft Biz Apps world, and something that's been growing like crazy the last few years. If you're a consultant yourself looking to learn more about Power Platform, when in comes to a BC environment, this is well worth the purchase.Heck, if you're just a user within a company using this tech stack, I would highly recommend having a read to learn. Your boss will be quite thankful you did!

Very detailed and through. A great read!

I've been consulting in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV/BC community for years. I enjoy learning new things and trying new technology. I'll admit that Microsoft's learning pages can leave you feeling like you might have missed something. I was encouraged to read this book with the hopes I could put what I learn into practice right away. YAY thank you Shawn and Kim for helping me learn something new without the educational "gaps." This book covers all necessary details, from obtaining a Developer license (without a business email account) to building new functionality that ties BC to Microsoft 365 apps/other apps! I'm so excited to use what I've learned with my projects and looking forward to additional releases! If you are looking to expand your BC installation this book is for you!! Thanks!
