Personally evading UK taxes isnt going to go down well on this forum, but everyone does it.
Bare in mind if it goes missing you will only be insured for the value declared.
Its trial and error on 'what you can get away with', but personally I find, you pay 'something' and create a value at least x how many you have in the parcel works fine.
lol 'GIFT' - that has been abused so much that its very dangerous to try that if its multiples of an item. Plus the valuations of 'gifts' are so low in the UK, its barely plausible anything is that value anymore.
There are ways of getting huge orders in with low value declaration without the need for an EORI number, but thats something you'll have to find out for yoursef.
