"And if so why was it not mentioned in the listing??"

If you look at the listing on the US site, under Postage at the top of the page, you'll see:

Import charges:To be provided at checkout

If you click on the Question Mark next to Import Charges, it shows:

"This amount includes applicable customs duties, taxes, brokerage and other fees. This amount is subject to change until you make payment. For additional information, see the Global Shipping Program terms and conditions"

If you click on terms and conditions, it takes you to this page
