That depends on the customs relationship between Botswana and Burkina Faso. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the corridor crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Botswana generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Burkina Faso pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly.
