I think that If it is from Hong Kong it want be stopped at customs.
(If I am wrong they will stop it only if the package has written on it the price of the item.
That means that they will add something like +20% or 25% on the price.(VAT included)
Next time ask from the seller not to write the price of the item outside of the package. (or chose gift wrap)

Ireland
TAX: There is a value added tax of 21 percent for most products. Some products, such as basic necessities and foodstuffs, qualify for a reduced rate of 4.2-12.5 percent. The tax is applied on CIF + duty
