Ordered Shoes From China

The seller used EMS.

Unfortunately, I've heard bad stories about shoes being taxed PHP 2,000 by our corrupt Customs. 

So the shoes are worth $115. Shipping costs $25. 

The sender didn't put any value on the item. 

According to the tracking, it's now in Customs.

How do I make sure that they won't charge me an arm for this item?

Not sure, but usually you'll only know once you get to pick-up the item. That's the time they tell you of the taxes/charges that you might have incurred. In any case, you can always haggle with them if worse comes to worse.

I actually ordered a ghost pair, is it advisable to declare them as a replica or would they just throw it away since it's illegal?

It's all the same. It doesn't really matter.
