Gifts typically don't have sales tax. Prizes you either pay sales tax or social security tax depending on the 1099. I learned that when I won a prize from game show network.
Now this may vary by state but one typically doesn't pay anything for review items because the review is considered payment.
Note the next is for the US.
According to the Federal Trade Commission if you get a product for review, you are required to put in a disclaimer saying you got the product in exchange for a review.
I hope this helps.

Interesting, but, from what I understand, they are based out of Vancouver, Canada. Not sure if Canadian customs practices are different.
At any rate, buyer beware.
