Exposing the price in fowarding

[Kusuriuri]

So, i had a friend of mine that lives in the US so foward me the Andrew Ryan statue, im already nervous since its such a fragile figure, but i really dont know what to do about the customs way of dealing with things, i know if it came directly from the store they where obliged to put the real price of the item.

But since its foward from a person, do i still need to put the real money or can i change it, so when it arrives here, i wont pay taxes?
