I was reading this book provided to me by my company and going through the 2nd chapters in regards to hardware was very cringe worthy. So many basic mistakes.CPU multipliers are not multipliers of the FSB but he BCLK ( FSB has its own multiplier to the BLCK, and adjusting the FSB speed by its multipleir does not affect the CPU core)writting in 2019 that a CPU hast go through the FSB to hit the northbridge for access to memory is incorrect.any modern cpu within the last decade has the memory controller built into itand it went on and on with just plain out technical inaccuracies that I lost my trust in the writer to continue reading the book.If you read this book, do NOT consider the harware section as a precise and technical correct section.

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.
