Item not delivered as problem with customs - Amazon

I ordered a kitchen utensil from Amazon from an overseas seller.
Got this email. Is it legit. Never had anything like this before. Thanks 

Dear friend,
I am sorry to tell you that I received a notification from the logistics provider today that this order has been returned by the customs.[important]
We are so sorry for the matter.
We have refunded you of £3.59. Please check it. The amazon will process the refund within a week. Don't worry about it.[important]

So sorry.
Hope to get your understanding.
Have a nice day!
Best regards

I thought it was the recipient who received any customs demands not the seller? But no, I've never heard of this before. Seems unlikely customer would bother over a £3.59 item! I guess all's well if you get your refund. Seems more likely the seller sold something they didn't have!
