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.

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.

Hardly Spent Oct 01, 2023

It’s a good reference guide for sure. Unfortunately taking practice exams I am noticing just how much important information has either been glossed over or isn’t included at all. If you truly want to get the most out of it you will need to watch YouTube and use chatgpt to fill in the blanks on topics the author strangely avoided. I’ve also stumbled upon a few typos (not a big deal) but also a few review questions do not have the answers to them in the chapter (somewhat of a deal).Overall its a decent study guide. But no chance you will pass the test on the first try by just using this book, you will need to access various other online resources.Testing in 2 weeks, good luck to everyone on a similar journey.

The goal of this book is to prepare the reader to pass the Security+ exam, and it worked!This book is written well even for those who haven’t worked in cybersecurity (like I haven’t). It gives thorough explanations without being overwhelming.Practical examples throughout the book provide the “why,” “why not,” and “when” which I did not get from other popular books.Exam Tips are labeled as such and are in easy-to-spot boxes inside the reading.Chapter Review Questions are well written with detailed answers in the back of the book.Illustrations give visual reinforcement of text. White space is plentiful allowing for smooth flow and for easily spotting information when answering questions or reviewing.There is an excellent free Companion Website, too. It has a 12-week study guide, flash cards, labs, mock exams, PBQs, videos, etc.

Ian Neil writes in a straightforward manner, and his descriptions are supported by clear-cut illustrations. Ian has taught over 15,000 students, including those in the military, so Ian knows how to efficiently communicate the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) exam concepts and will *not* waste your time!And unlike some other Sec+ exam instructors & teachers, Ian is *not* out to price-gouge his students by saying "buy these flashcards" or "purchase these practice exams"--although he does encourage his students to learn from "as many sources as makes sense" to prepare for the 5 exam domains.The 5 Domains of the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 exam are:Domain 1.0: Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities (24%)Domain 2.0: Architecture and Design (21%)Domain 3.0: Implementation (25%)Domain 4.0: Operations and Incident Response (16%)Domain 5.0: Governance, Risk, and Compliance (14%)As someone who purchased & used Ian's Certification Guide to pass on the first try, I *highly* recommend that you do the same!
