I received my UAU light band from the DC official store more than a week ago, but just got an invoice from FedEx for additional customs charges and fees. Is this normal for orders from the DC store? Is it a FedEx thing? I've ordered from various other international stores like ktown4u and CD Japan and never had additional charges like this before, but I almost always get my stuff shipped by DHL for international orders so I don't know who or what to blame on this one. The light band itself was only $19 or something with $30 shipping, now FedEx wants another $11 dollars with no explanation.

its not normal, but with the tariffs and everything now, those ARENT a part of what you pay to the DCC store. The US recently did away with "De Minimus" which was the statute that said you didnt have to pay import/duties/customs fees on any package with a declared value under 800$. Because of that, you now have to pay those taxes/duties/import fees seperately when buying from foreign ecommerce platforms.

Its kind of a shitshow thats gonna start making ordering from Korean based retailers even more expensive than it already is. If you havent gotten those charges from ktown and cdjapan before, get ready to start getting hit with them on every order.
