One mans valued prize is another's junk, with little or no value.

Apart from probably being illegal, it would be possible to down-value the
goods, but then if they are of any value, you'd have to declare it or risk
uninsured shipping.

I don't think that Customs care too much about the condition of the goods,
only the value. This makes life difficult when returning a high value item
for repair. The problem is that it is still high value although the tax has
been paid once on that value. In that case, you might be able to declare
that the goods are classed as used and appeal to Customs to not apply
purchase taxes. You would probably still have to pay VAT on the shipping
charges. :-(

ISTM that we need definitive answers from the relevant customs authorities.

Hello Dominic,
To my curiosity, if the KSYNA board were declared as second hand used
electronic parts, would this also attract VAT?
If the answer is negative, you can then ask a friend in US to buy and send
it you which is theoretically second hand product.
