Best way to avoid tax when shopping online outside EU into Poland?

Hi, I have lived in Poland for a few years and from my previous experience, it seems like Poland have a very strict custom duty office. They always catch me buying stuff online from Asia and it's very hard to avoid tax here in Poland even though I'm not even a Polish citizen.

My question is: Do they have a custom duty office in every city in Poland or only bigger cities?

I live right now in one of the bigger cities in Poland and it seems like they double check (custom duty) in both Warsaw and this city (Krakow).

What happens if I order to a friend who is living a smaller town, do they also have custom duty office in smaller towns in Poland? Maybe it's easier to avoid tax if you order it to a small town instead of big city? What do you guys think?

I always ask the sellers to declair my package as "20 USD" and it says "Gift" but polish custom duty are very smart, they know all the tricks so it's not easy to fool them.

So you are openly asking for an advice on how to break Polish law?

@NoToForeigners ,

It depends on how you see it though. It's never a crime to send a letter.

I see it just like the law sees it.
