ギフトで商品を送ると、税関で開封される可能性は減りますが、開封された場合、関税がほぼかかります。
今回送ってもらった商品は、まだ私の家には届いていないけど、どうやら開封されたようです。というのは荷物を追跡すると二次検査をされているのが分かったからです(二次検査に回されるとほとんど関税がかかります)

When merchandise are sent as gifts, risk of being opened at the custom is reduced but if the parcel is opened, the merchandise are almost guaranteed to be taxed.
I have not received the parcel that you had sent this time but it looked like it was opened. I learnt this from its tracking record, which showed that the parcel had been transferred to second examination. (Once a parcel is transferred to the second examination, it is usually taxed.)

If you ship the item as a gift, the chance to be opened at the custom inspection will be lessen. However, if the package is opened, the custom duty will be charge in most cases.
The item you shipped this time has not arrived at my house yet. But, it seems that the package was opened because the tracking shows that the package is undergoing the second inspection. (If the item is passed to second inspection, custom duty will be charged in most cases.)

If I sent commodity as a gift, the possibility customs open it will be decreased but when it is opened, custom tax is almost defnitely charged.
This time's package has not arrived at my place yet but it seems it has opened. Because I checked tracking information and it is checked two times. (When it is checked two times, mostly it is charged custom tax.)
