Like this: buying a bunch of anime goodies (plushies, games, merch), Japanese knives & second hand electronics from Akihabara in which all sum up to ¥290,000 in customs value from a consolidated package.

You might avoid sales tax (like GST or VAT) but you’ll be hit with an import tax instead which can often be higher than the sales tax.
depends on how it’s declared and transported. as there is classes for each type.
surprisingly, I believe jewelry and personal goods is the lowest tax bracket. which technically applies to alot of things even electronics.
obviously every nation is different, but you have to be careful in how things are declared, otherwise they may be just flat out rejected because it wasn’t bought inside your nation. (censorship controls apply to imported goods like media, toys, magazines, electronics goods, and household items. it’s best to treat each thing not as what it actually is but what it’s made from to avoid refusals and overtax due to poor import system that blindly denies.)
