Don't pass this book up, seriously! From soup to nuts, Thomas gives you the recipes to excel in the world of Powershell and automation. If you're not automating your server tasks on ANY version of Windows server, you're at least 15+ years behind the times. I was doing it with PERL in the early 2000s and doing it now with Powershell. Thomas gives you the tools to be ahead of your peers when it comes to Powershell. I knew this would be a great asset to have in my toolbox because I also have his Windows Server 2016 Cookbook.

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.

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:
