Why is this email invalid?

As from the headers we can see that this was probably a host called universal.at that accepted some email from the webserver (probably using mod_php, mod_cgi or something like that). That host then sent the email to the MX server of my mail provider using ESMTPS. Several mechanism failed (DMARC/SPF), the remote ip address translated into ppp-202.151.182.86.revip.proen.co.th.

Besides all that technical stuff, customs service will never ask for money via email. Usually you get a notification in your letter box that tells you where you can get your letter/parcel and what you have to pay for customs.

I got already a bunch of parcels from outside Austria and they never billed round values like 50€.

If you get mails from users that actually authenticate on their SMTP servers, you usually read something like ESMTPA in one of the first Received: headers. Where SMTP is the protocol, E tells you the connection was encrypted and A means the user has been authenticated. Now you gonna look on which server the authentication took place; the first Received: header of an email from me typically looks like this:
