... stuff is taxed on import. You as the buyer can be held liable for tax evasion (or whatever) if you make the seller declare it as a present.

This is (to me) perfectly ok. The discussion whether a sales tax is sensible or not is not my point (but people will get upset about that anyway). What I am unhappy about is what the national mail service charges for the customs clearance! Bunch of lovemaking lovechilds....
