Now LHR charges a fee to upgrade?

I just tried to use a GPU for LHR-ORD. I have used SWU's on this flight numerous times in the past and have never paid a duty or fee for the upgrade. Today, the system is attempting to collect $61 USD from me before processing the upgrade (which it appears will clear). Why a new fee all of a sudden?
