Dear Rogerio, I believe you would agree with me when I say :" No one loves to pay taxes, in any shape or form, including import & customs:-)" to me it becomes an exception when one receives an item such as the licorice bag: an item of outstanding craftsmanship and quality. Then, I only wish the customs taxes $$ would have gone straight back to you. Thank you for making this item; I will enjoy it for years to come. Please make more !!! Sincerely, Janique.
