Simply put, this is an 'Excellent' book, probably the best book I have read specifically targeted towards learning & mastering the concepts required for passing, Microsoft Azure Exam DP-203 towards Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate certification.5 salient points:1) Excellent coverage of all relevant topics.2) Clear & precise explanations, and all topics well explained, with notes, and associated screenshots from the Azure portal for one to follow along to do hands-on.3) Personally, I loved the chapter on ‘Optimizing and Troubleshooting Data Storage and Data Processing’ and...4) The chapter on revising the key topics and sample questions for the Certification.5) In short, if you're already a Professional Data Engineer on Azure and yet to clear DP-203, OR an aspiring one, and plan mastering all the topics required to become a Professional Azure Data Engineer, this is a Must-Have book/pdf in your Library.Thanks to Newton Alex for authoring such a fantastic book.

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.

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? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

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:
