A 443 is not out of range of what a piano can handle. The instrument can take 
the extra tension. But, I would certainly charge extra. Not only for doing a 
pitch raise to bring the piano up to A443, but also to do a pitch lowering, 
to bring it back down. In other words, I don't see anything wrong with 
charging this customer the price of 2 pitch raises and 2 tunings.
