I believe they now give you the opportunity to insure each phone against this so if it gets caught they will pay for any charges, cant tell you how much that is though.

May work for singular items but customs now flag addresses and as such it increases the likelihood of being held, import charges are based on cost of item so averages do not apply tbh.
Also this is an illegal, tax avoiding, practice and if proved as a process you are willingly involved in can cost you a lot more than the tax charge....
