Of course I can only speak from my personal experience. I am in the US and
have both sent and received international packages. If I am sending a
package for which I have received parts in trade, I mark it as gift. If I am

As a receiver I have gotten packages marked as both merchandise and as gift
and have never had to pay any taxes to get my package (including some really
big boxes from DYA in France).
