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.

Rare and good to have...

I purchased the PDF format from Packt Publishing (no I don't work there). I am a grandmother and great grandmother, and I was really surprised to find that this book is very helpful in teaching you how to master Artisteer. I did read one of the reviews that said, you can't hardly understand what's written, because of sentence structure, that's a lot of hooey! And because of that one review, I almost didn't buy this book. But boy! Am I glad I did. It's not my job to sell you the book, but If I can follow the instructions in the book and they actually work, I am sure, you will be pleasantly surprise!. The Artisteer 4.0 Manual is fine. But, this book makes it s-o-o much easier to customize things, on your own.
