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.

Great book - at times a little heavy

Amazon Verified review

I can recommend this book especially to developers that want to start learning about Games in HTML5 (beginners).The book allow the reader to dive into games development concepts. You need basic understanding of Web Technology to read it (HTML5, CSS3, Javascript) but the author doesn't assume the reader is a expert in these technologies.The author starts by giving new features provided by HTML5, thus allowing the user to have a better understanding of what's possible with this language.

A fun and quick but to the point read. The book is filled with examples (as the title suggests) showing you how the code is written step-by-step. You'll get an overview of the development of a mini-game (-ynot et- a full-fledged game), and some nice JavaScript tips you can use in other projects.The most interesting aspect of the book is that it covers the "new" APIs of HTML5 (canvas, WebSockets, local storage), enabling you to fully harness the power of modern web browsers.Aimed at beginners, but intermediate developers will surely take something away too.I substracted a star because there are some code mistakes and not everything was fully optimised to my taste.

HTML5 Game Development by Example is a great book for anyone who is into building games. With HTML5 one can develop games that run on computers, smartphones, and tablets and this book helps ones to achieve that.The book covers six example games with clear tutorials which is explained across 10 chapters; each chapter explaining one topic. It covers almost all aspects of game building including drawing game objects, animating them, adding audio, and publishing our games. In my honest opinion this book will help one to jump start to the game development world.

The author's methodology consist of giving you parts of the code first and then he tries to explain "What just happened", but to tell the true, the explanations were not so understandable for me. I didn't understand all that code that I was writing in most of the chapters. It is very frustrating to have thousands of lines of code and not having a clue what the heck is going on inside it.Also, there are parts of the book's code that are different from the downloadable (or bundled) code. For example, in the chapter 9, the dowloadable code is just one javascript file instead of the two that the author says you should create. An the worst thing is that the file seems very different from what the book is actually telling you to type.So to simplify things: This book is not for total beginners, you should have at least an intermediate level of Javascript, but even if you already have a little experience with it, you'll find some parts of the book's code that are not well written or complete.In fact, I'd like to mention that in the chapter 2, in the book's code, page 34, there is a faulty object property that makes your project (ping pong game) to fail. So if you are struggling in that chapter, make sure to check the downloadable code to avoid frustration. Believe me, it is very frustrating to re-read ALL the chapter again just to find out that you did everything as the book says, so the problem is not you, is the BOOK !!
