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.

The terraform associate exam is a critical exam to add to your CV for landing your next cloud role. For me, I needed this exam very quickly to ramp up for landing a consulting project. I was looking for a resource to take with me while I traveled remotely and also included sample exams (these are critical for studying) with the option to download a PDF copy of the book (so that I can read it on my computer as well). I trust packt to provide this holistic approach which is good value, buy once and have the book and get access to the digital content to go along with the physical bookThis book is the perfect resource. It has enough content to stand on its own to act as a reference in itself, but for the exam preparation it is structured to address the exam criteria that HashiCorp publishes. The book does progress from foundational to more advanced I think most readers will appreciate this especially if you have not used some of the features that largers business use with their own terraform deployments (workspaces, encrypted state, multi-cloud, custom providers, import, etc).The mock exams are pretty close to what you will experience on the cert test and you will find that the questions will show you your learning gaps. You can find the reasons for the right or wrong responses in the book.I would recommend this one to anyone looking to take or re-take the associate exam from HashiCorp and use this as a huge boost to your resume and work experience!

The "HashiCorp Terraform Associate (003) Exam Guide " is an invaluable resource for anyone aiming to achieve the HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate certification. It keeps things clear and focuses in on what you need to understand to pass your exam.The book starts with a strong introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and the importance of Terraform in modern DevOps practices. This foundational knowledge is essential for understanding Terraform's broader impact on infrastructure management.
