I may be wrong on this, but from what I have read it may depend on the cost and/or value of the product, along with the potential ability to purchase the product at a local supplier (to the receiver) - the .gov website regarding tariff codes used to have a full explanation on this.
If sending abroad, you should make a note on the paperwork that states 'gift'. Even doing this is not a guarantee, and the receiver may still have to pay tax, and import duty (along with the tax applied to it). This is how it was with Norway previously (and still) which was a Schengen country.
