Well, that alone is enough reason not to do any further
business with them.  A good, customer-oriented company
always lets you know the full terms and conditions
(including whether tax will be charged) *before* you
complete the transaction.

In fact, you might have a case for returning the filters and
undoing the transaction *because* they didn't disclose
everything in advance. But it's probably not worth the
trouble.
