If yes, go file a refund and you shall get your $35 back.

I had this situation once, where customs was trying to charge me $ for something i sent to USA for repair. After 2-3 phone calls I got my money back from both customs and the courier (Who also charged me $20 brokerage fee on top)
The illum kickplates where bought online from cjannik on this site.

I paid duty on them the first time I purchased them.

Then they were sent to the USA for Carbon wrapping (which I claimed was repair) and I was charged customs a fee based on the original value of the kickplates when they were sent back to me.

When I explained this to the lady at the post office she gave me 2 forms and a copy of the receipt which I will have to include in order to 'maybe' get a refund.

Good to know things worked out in your story, I hope for a similar result here/

Thanks for the positive comments on the Kickplates, I think they look phemoninal and the orinigal kickplates are a pretty weak and crappy illuminum which dents and scratches easily so this is a great upgrade!
