Ordering goods outside EU when the total price including shipping exceeds 22 eur VAT needs to be paid, if total amount exceeds 150 eur customs need to be paid. Some sellers send the goods and marks them as gift and puts the price somewhere between 1-20eur (even though content is actually more valuable) this way it might go through customs without issues. If price is marked over 22eur then it most certainly will stop in customs. The price used to be about 50eur couple years ago that one could purchase outside EU without VAT.
Some people do not know these limitations when ordering outside EU if they have only ordered from EU before and these restrictions do not apply, some people take the risk and hope for the best and some people only order max 22eur worth of goods per order.
