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.

Avid Yii user since 1.x. Have had some odd experiences with PACKT books in the past caused by poor technical editing and error prone examples, but this book is a good read and well thought out.

Hi,I'm a software architect from Germany. There are not many books out there for Yii2. It (the framework) competes with Symfony and Laravel, also two of my favourites. In this book all relevant topics are covered, also the tricky ones like "authenticating and authorizing users" and "database handling with DAO" and REST, another hype out there. Also the real world is there with debugging, performance and security. To get an good overview I would recommend this book aside the online documentation itself.

I'm one of the reviewers of this book, but I'm writing this review purely as a customer and book reader. I'm a Yii developer with 5+ years of experience.I have read this book thoroughly and I must admit that this is an outstanding piece of work. It targets a little bit more experienced Yii2 developers and thus does not focus on complete basics. Instead, it provides detailed information on most important topics, that covers application development.Book consists of thirteen chapters and nearly 350 pages. These pages are full of important details, tips, tricks and a large number of useful examples.Chapters are ordered from configuration, through key application development, to additional tasks around application life-cycle.It includes:- introductory topics (composer configuration and console commands or applications),- basic application development (DAO, queries, data providers, AR, modules, widgets, assets and helpers),- request life-cycle (authentication, authorization, routing, responses and events),- advanced topics (RESTful applications, translation and internationalization),- application life-cycle (testing, debugging, fixing performance and security).Every aspect is discussed in details, supported by many examples and useful tips. Chapters are written in the way, that both beginners and advanced developers can benefit from them.I can strongly advice anyone, who is around Yii2 development, to purchase this book. Covered material is vast and written in a very well form. I would most certainly bought this book, just as a Yii2 developer, without any remarks to the fact, that I was reviewing it during writing process.

Maciej Stencel Apr 02, 2016

I have been searching for long time one big comprehensive knowledge well for Yii2. Ive tried vide tutorials and other books but this one gave me everything what i needed to start using this framework.This book will lead you from installation to finished product. You will read about all Yii2 "things" like console, Active Record, modules and widgets, authentication, internationalization and how to build RESTful application.What will be missing for your specific project you'll find yourself as you will be by now fluent Yii2 developer.Worth buying.
