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 have been writing JavaScript code for a couple of years now and I have to say this book is COMPREHENSIVE to say the least. I learned something new every chapter. This is a long book but well worth the read if you are a dev or an aspiring dev. I look forward to reading again soon!

Very well written book about the basic JavaScript concepts with each topic divided into separate sections. If you are a new grad and in your journey of job hunt, this would help you in understanding the concepts clearly and help in cracking the interview with core JavaScript concepts such as asynchronous calls, functional programming , getting started with node.js etc., If you just want to refresh you basic js skills right before the interview this book helps in targeting specific topic. Also all the concepts are pretty clear with examples.

This purely a put together of Javascript documentation, people who purchase programming books, buy them to learn and enhance their skill on how to apply(use) a language,this does exactly the opposite,no clear learning path across chapters that builds on previous chapter,I guess other Javascript books will do much better

If you would like to get familiar with JavaScript from entry level and gain some real world experience and useful content, this book is recommended for you! Don't worry if you have no idea of web developing tools or even installation steps; This book is a self guide and easy to understand.
