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.

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:

This is really a wonderful resource. I understand both the basics of Pentaho and much more beyond that. The book is filled with example after example. All are helpful and useful. I can't imagine a better introduction to Pentaho. Highly recommended!

Good introduction book if you're looking to get into using Kettle. The author does a good job of presenting the subject using good examples, and doesn't get overly techie with the reader. Good book also for those who know SSIS but are looking for other ETL tools to explore.
