Customs and duty charges
You are not responsible for knowing your countries customs and duty policies prior to purchasing. We have no control over your countries customs and duty charges. Some will charge, some will not, and all at different rates. Most packages go through without any charges, it is somewhat random.

We are not responsible for them and will not refund you these amounts. You can argue with your local customs and mention to them that this is a handmade article and not a manufactured item. Most countries have exceptions for handmade products.
