Need to pay customs charges for contact lenses. Shall I?

    Recent delivery notice from An Post left me kind of confused. I need to pay customs charges nearly 20 EUR on a small parcel from the States containing two boxes of contact lenses. The value is around 60EUR, so not anywhere near 120-150EUR of recently (year 2008) raised limit for small parcels imported from non-EU countries. Could anyone confirm that this charge is being applied rightly??? I called customs in Athlone, they showered me with laws, numbers, explanations etc., resulting in more confusion (on my side) and them basically saying I need to pay. Full stop. But are they right?
    Thanks
    Tomas
