Here customs tax is very random. Before those two imports, it never happened to me. It's not a tax applied to all incoming imports. (Since they were books, I guess the size and weight made them charge me the tax, I don't know).
Anyway, after some research, these transporters means 100% sure I'll pay customs and a much heavier tax: UPS, DHL or FedEx.
It's unfair, as I should only pay the IVA (VAT) 21% and a symbolic customas tax, but with these carriers I can end up paying more than 80%!

Maybe you can request the package to be hand-written instead of machine-printed. If everything is hand-written, it would be more likely to be conceived as a present from a friend, and not an order or sale.
Also, you can have RobertB write in a black marker on the outside of the box.
