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.

“It is very difficult to find a good security book these days. This book is an exception to this. Content is well written and organized. I am a security analyst for a bank. We already started testing some of the process and solutions mentioned in this book. Our entire security group is very happy with the logic and ideas provided in this book. This book was beyond our expectations. It explains the operating system hardening details as well as other applications like IIS, DNS, DHCP, Hyper-V, File and Print servers. Looking forward to reading more books from this author. I highly recommend this book. “

The topics are very well organized and explained in step by step instruction style. It provides enough background information and detailed instructions on how to implement the mentioned solutions in IT networks. The custom PowerShell scripts provided are well written and ready to use. I learned about some new applications from this book like Microsoft Attack Surface Analyzer(ASA), AppLocker, Security Compliance Manager (SCM) etc. In my opinion, this is one of the “must have” books if you are looking for a Microsoft Security related book! Great job and good luck!

I strongly recommend this book if you are looking to learn more about windows server security. I'm an IT professional (MCITP-DBA), and more than often I have to work with our admin group in reviewing our windows server infrastructure security and policies. This the most hands-on book I came across so far on windows security. The book clearly shows that it is written by someone who deals with windows security on a daily basis. My favorite is the step-by-step tutorials that provides real-world scenarios and security solutions, which is exactly what I was looking for. The book gives you a jump start on different techniques for identifying and mitigating any flaws in your windows server environment, and it does so in a clear and concise manner. The book is well organized - easy to follow and understand. The two important parts of the book - proactive approach and step-by-step tutorials should be very helpful for readers at all levels. If you are looking for hands-on book for windows server security - this is your book.
