That depends on the customs relationship between Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau. 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 Tanzania generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Guinea-Bissau pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly.

Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. Guinea-Bissau sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every corridor. They apply even inside the EU.
