If you do much more than open the box/bag/shrink wrap and inspect it, it's probably a fabricated item.
See also the first blue box of 4.1 for some case studies, and of course R18, which describes the withholding allowance and its exemptions. (Warning: there are fewer exemptions to the withholding allowance rules than in the robot fabrication rules.)
