Thank You feedback from the parcel sent to Vietnam

I received a message from Sister Julienne of the Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres of Kontum Vietnam that the parcel of dresses has been received and released by customs after paying about a dollar per dress for duty. Cant figure out why duty has to be paid for a well-deserved donation of 34 dresses only but not for hundreds. No good. I have responded to Sister Julienne's message letting her know that I will make a $40.00 donation to her orphanage to repay the amount she paid for the dresses. 

Also, Sister Julienne asks me to say 'thank you' to everyone for all the beautiful dresses and that it is very much appreciated. Please see below her message -

Thank you everyone for making this happen! Much appreciated.
