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.

I got around to reviewing Jakub's book this weekend, and it is a *very* comprehensive 300 pages of end-to-end knowledge and guidance on the entire journey. From ideation and planning, to development, security review, and marketing an app listing.I've been a guest on Jakub's AI podcast, and look forward to future iterations of this book as the goal posts move towards GPT-driven development and dialogue-based CRM-AI systems. Jakub seems primed to redefine how PDOs approach future AppExchange AI apps.

I have been reading the "Salesforce AppExchange Success Blueprint" for the past days and it's really awesome. I’m very impressed with the level of detail, the step by step approach and the wide range of topics the book covers, from ideation to marketing, including best practices and strategies. I highly recommend it to ALL Salesforce professionals working with ISVs, not only in the engineering department but in product management as well.Really amazing work!

Buildings apps for the Salesforce App Exchange requires a specialized skill set vs building a custom solution for a single customer. This book can help guide you through designing and delivering scalable solutions on the App Exchange.

From setting up a solid foundation, making informed decisions, to exploring innovative solutions, it offers a comprehensive view of the AppExchange development process. A must read!

Tom Leddy Oct 30, 2023

This guide is essential for anyone looking to publish an app on the Salesforce AppExchange. It's the most thorough guide that I've seen on the topic and Jakub does a great job of laying out some foundational information about the Salesforce Platform and Ecosystem and then builds on top of that with practical guidance on the steps to become an AppExchange partner and then develop and publish an app. It also covers some longer term topics, like managing technical debt and gathering analytics about the performance of your app, which aren't always covered in a lot of other guides. The guidance in this book is also based on Jakub's own experience, which helps to add a personal touch to his writing and also makes it really enjoyable to read.
