What Is Custom Duty? Custom duty (or customs tariff) is a form of indirect tax imposed on goods when they are transported across international borders. It ensures that countries protect domestic industries, regulate imports, and generate revenue from international trade. The rate of duty depends on the nature of the goods, their declared value, and the applicable trade agreements or tariff schedules between countries. Why This Book? In today’s globalized economy, understanding customs duty is not limited to importers or exporters alone. From e-commerce entrepreneurs importing products from abroad to multinational corporations managing complex supply chains — everyone interacts with customs regulations in some form. This book provides a complete, easy-to-follow framework for understanding customs duties, how they are assessed, and how to comply with them efficiently.

Il Lean è nato nelle fabbriche Toyota nel 1950. Funzionava perché eliminava tutto ciò che non creava valore. Quella logica non è mai invecchiata. Questo libro non ti spiega il Lean. Ti mostra cosa succede quando lo applichi davvero: al codice che scrivi, ai meeting che fai, ai ticket che non arrivano mai in produzione, ai prompt che mandi agli agenti AI e ricevi 800 righe di codice quando ne bastano 10. Troverai esempi concreti in Python, diagrammi che puoi usare domani mattina, e un modo diverso di rispondere a una domanda che probabilmente non ti sei mai posto con chiarezza: questo lavoro crea valore per qualcuno, o è muda? Scritto per chi sviluppa software a tempo pieno e non ha tempo da perdere, nemmeno per leggere libri inutili.
