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.

Businesses depending on ERP to make their decisions have a great need to generate their own customized reports. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, the reporting component is powered by SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This book demystifies the generation of reports using SSRS through easy to understand code samples. However, a sound understanding of object oriented concepts is a prerequisite. The book starts off by showing how to create a simple report using a query as a data source. The formatting of the report is made quick and easy with the help of the auto design feature. Ranges are utilized to help the users filter the data according to their needs. Finally, the report is deployed so it is visible as a menu item in AX. The second chapter tackles sprucing up the report through charts and custom images based on the evaluation of user defined expressions. The next chapter delves into the Report Programming Model in AX and explains how the Model-View-Controller pattern is used in the reporting framework of AX to generate data based on specified parameters and display the report. A particularly useful recipe in this chapter deals with using the same controller for calling multiple reports simulataneously while also handling their security. When reports are dependent on the analysis and consolidation of data provided by the business logic, the Report Data Provider(RDP) comes into play. Creating a report with multiple data sources in a single table as well as displaying company images in the report is made possible thanks to RDP. Connecting SSRS reports with external data sources like XML feeds, SQL server and OLAP are discussed in the next chapter. Adding a map sub report as well as using precision design to create a flexible sub report are also explained clearly. Using charts and gauges and adding validation in reports is made possible with AX 2012. The recipe showing how to upgrade from previous reports is very reassuring to longtime users of Dynamics AX. Surrogate fields introduced in AX 2012 can prove to be quite powerful. However, their proper use is shrouded in mystery for the uninitiated. Two practical examples demonstrate how to leverage surrogate fields in query-based as well as RDP-based reports. A chapter on troubleshooting provides a good deal of solutions for common issues encountered in deployment, rendering and data in reports. Tips are also provided for dealing with barcode generation and improving the performance of language-specific reports like Sales Invoice. Readers plagued by performance problems will particularly appreciate the section showing how to troubleshoot the cause of slowdown by using the free Report Log Viewer tool. The final chapter deals with creating unit classes for contract, controller and RDP classes to aid in testing the feature logic. The book bids adieu to the readers with some great time-saving and productivity-enhancing best practices for report development.
