in the auction he says

- Item will be sent as gift to minimize custom duties, VAT and import tax exposure. It is buyer’s responsibility to pay for customs duties, VAT and import tax if applicable.

so there is a chance you wont be charged

The gift marking doesn't make it less likely to get stopped.
