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 intro to dhtmlx application structure. Exactly what I needed to get acquainted with the capabilities of dhmtlx, and some of its components. I ended up extending the app as suggested in the epilogue to use SQL Server tables over local storage with an external web service.

Eli Geske has written an excellent introduction to the DHTMLX Suite. The writing is clear, specific, and easy to read, and the exercises are easy to follow. I didn't find any bugs in his code. I think that the documentation from DHTMLX can be daunting to even experienced programmers, so this book can really help you to learn how to think and code using the DHTMLX framework. If you take the time to type-in and test each exercise progressively and not just cut and paste them in, you will definitely have a big jumpstart in using DHTMLX.My only quibble with the book is that it did not give any examples of using data from a server-side database, but that really shouldn't be very difficult for people familiar with JavaScript and JSON to figure out.You will definitely need some familiarity with JavaScript and JSON to get the most out of this book, however, if you take the time to do all the exercises for building the application and pay attention to the patterns, you'll get a good idea about how JavaScript works.

This is a quick, step-by-step guide to installing and using this powerful JS library. Eli thoroughly explains every function in clear detail, making this the perfect manual for anyone who wants to create highly interactive web applications using the DHTMLX suite.Eli covers the entire suite, explaining every method and event in easy-to-understand language. Well done.

I was very happy to see a book about DHTMLX. As far as I know, this is the first book about this JavaScript framework. It is aimed at beginners and gives you a good taste what the framework is capable of. The book is well structured and written well. It is easy to follow the instructions. I would definitely recommend it over the official documentation, which can be really confusing and frustrating from time to time. However, the DHMTMLX folks are really dedicated to help if you need it. I hope this book will help to spread DHTMLX, because I believe it is deserved to be used more widely.Unfortunately, the book does not follow the officially recommended directory structure. That can be confusing for beginners. However, if you can get over that, the website structure is very logical. The book introduces the reader to the most common components of DHTMLX. It does a very good job explaining the various methods and events of each component without overwhelming. All in all, the book is a great introduction to DHTMLX.The only sore point I have about the book is the use of HTML5's local storage. I think the author/publisher chose the easy way out of using local storage instead of a "real" sql database. Because of this, one crucial part of DHTMLX is missing, which is server side functionality. I believe that the majority of potential users of DHTMLX have a proper sql database. The connector files add a lot of functionality to DHTMLX that changes methods in many components of the framework (server-side sorting filtering etc.). I hope the next edition will include this as well.
