Once I bought a digital camera and the seller send it to me like a gift, but I had to pay for taxes. I do not understand exactly why I had to pay for taxes although it was marked as a gift. It was a very expansive item.

As far as I know, if it's a gift there is no tax. That's why a lot of sellers would tell the buyers that it will be labeled as a gift to avoid paying that.
