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.

I was originally reluctant to buy this book because a lot of the advertising was poorly written, and I thought the book could be a pain to read. It must have had the services of an excellent editor because it is very easy to read and understand. The exposition is suitable for someone starting out in Qt 5, and there are lots of examples. A good choice.

Ich steige gerade komplett neu in die Welt von Qt und C++ ein. Das Buch bietet ein schnellen Einstieg in die Welt von Qt. Viele Themen werden soweit angeschnitten, dass es leicht fällt die Richtung zu erkennen, in der man weiter forschen muss.

No me lo he leído entero, pero Qt5 está lleno de secretos, este libro os ahorrará tiempo! No es un reference guide universal.

TB Jan 14, 2016

I've been working with C/C++ for a few years now, and with Qt for 1-2 years...mainly with Qt4 in embedded systems. I have a couple of the (very thorough) Qt4-based books that are available here on Amazon, and they are very good. In fact, they are almost TOO good from the standpoint that they nearly overwhelm you with information. But as reference material, they are extremely valuable. That being said however, when I saw that this book was dealing with Qt5 I wanted to go ahead and read it.I read both of the reviews posted previous to mine, before buying the book. Then I purchased the Kindle version of this book and worked through the first couple of chapters. I can definitely see the criticism(s) noted in Keith Peter's review. It's pretty apparent that this book did not have a good Technical Editor to go through it, because there are a number of simple errors that should NOT have made it through. For example in chapter 2, here's one such example:"...In other cases, we have to explicitly set the parent for a QObject child so that the parent can take over its ownership and manage the release of its memory. Hence, we pass the QObject parent, which is this, a MainWindow class to the constructor of QTimer."It's unfortunate that the author doesn't point out that the "this" pointer is a pointer to the instance of a class that is currently being referenced. In other words, "this" isn't a class...it's a pointer to an instance of a class.There are a number of similar such errors in the first two chapters, but overall the intent of the author is very good I think. But as I stated above, the book is in dire need of a good Technical Editor to go through and point this out to the author. I have served as a Technical Editor for a book on embedded systems, and it's not an easy task. It take many hours of work to go through a book such as this, but the result is well worth the effort.So overall I'll want to come back and revisit this review after finishing the book, but for now I would have to give it a 4-stars due to poor editing. I would have to agree with Keith on this point. I would also add that you really do need to have some C++ experience before working through this book, as that is assumed--and it would also be most helpful to know something about Qt (and Qt Creator) before reading this book. While it's not absolutely imperative that you have used Qt before, there are many times that the author chooses not to go into elaborate detail on a take he asks you to perform. If you are at least somewhat experienced with Qt Creator you will have little problem getting things accomplished--but you might struggle a little but if you've never used the IDE before. On the other hand it will make you dig more for the answer(s), so I suppose that's not all bad.
