FedEx customs charge

I am extremely annoyed about the cost, but my wife bought a pair of pyjamas for €19 from somewhere in the states and got them sent to her friend because they didn’t post here. So her friend sent them here which was €28. Customs sent them back to her for some reason we still can’t figure out. So my wife asked her to send…

I am extremely annoyed about the cost, but my wife bought a pair of pyjamas for €19 from somewhere in the states and got them sent to her friend because they didn’t post here. So her friend sent them here which was €28. Customs sent them back to her for some reason we still can’t figure out. So my wife asked her to send them with fedEx because she didn’t want them being sent back to the states. At this point I said to my wife to just let her friend keep the pyjamas for her child because of the hassle. FedEx cost around €95 - €105 to post. Can’t remember exactly how much it was but you can imagine my reaction at the cost and again I said just let her friend hold onto them but we ended up paying. So they where delivered about two weeks ago and this morning we got a bill in the door from fedEx for €28.49 and I’m wondering how it’s possible. FedEx just gave us an email address to follow up but the wife said since the changes in July with customs the cost is gone up. Surely that can’t be right for something that only cost €19. I know anything in the past under €22 was free of customs. I know there is a fee now on anything outside the eu since July but surely not €28.49 for something that cost €19.
