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.

Nice one!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Very glad I bought the least expensive Kindle edition. The book is poorly written, the grammar is severely lacking, the editor/reviewer should be fired for incompetence, and the samples in the companion download bear zero resemblance to the text of the book. One example (of MANY): Chapter 2 introduces EntityDataSource controls. It says to use Visual Studio 2013, SQL Server 2014, and Entity Framework 6 as the necessary versions for following the text. The text then says to create a simple ASP.NET web project and drag the EntityDataSource control from the toolbox to the web form. However, the EntityDataSource control in the toolbox is:1. From EF version 52. NOT compatible with EF 63. NOT upgradable to the EF 6 version of the control (per Microsoft)This renders the rest of the section in the text for configuring the control completely irrelevant for EF 6. This is one example of many that I have had to work around or try to figure out just in the first few chapters - worthless book.

This book is not a real book but just an early draft of a book. It's full of typos, copy-paste errors, same sentences placed multiple times on adjacent pages, blah-blah with no details etcIt's amazing how poor the quality of this 'book' is.

Andrew Stegmaier Apr 30, 2016

It feels like this book was written by a machine AI that copied and pasted marketing slogans, random snippets from stackoverflow, and meaningless powerpoint diagrams. If you're like me, you were hoping to get a tutorial in entity framework that would start from basic concepts and and build from there, you will be bewildered by the constant use of unexplained terminology and the redundant, disorganized style. (For a random example, consider p. 21 "features at a glance"--it's a list of high-level marketing bullets about all the features of Entity Framework, some of which have been discussed previously, other's of which are completely opaque. What is a summary like this doing in the _middle_ of a chapter, surrounded by highly detailed explanations of specific concepts???). Don't waste your money or time on this book.
