As you've already discovered, its a scam.
If it had been real you would have gotten a mailed notice from US Customs and not an email. (And how would they know your email anyway?).
Here are the real procedures
When U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) determines that an inbound shipment is subject to duty payment by the addressee, the mailpiece is returned to the Postal Service bearing an orange adhesive-backed Treasury Department envelope, which contains CBP Form 3419ALT, Mail Entry. When U.S. Customs determines that an inbound shipment is not subject to duty payment by the addressee, the mailpiece is returned to the Postal Service with no Customs endorsement.
