International parcels are opened by customs to look for drugs and other illegal material/stuff

FFS don't you just hate it when they forget to mark your parcel as "Gift".

How would you know it's a card skimming device and not just a card reader?

We had many of the smart chip (SIM) readers come through our doors without any issues ever.

Maybe its something obvious that even you would know if you saw it, but then again maybe it isn't.

Customs probably suspected card skimming devices once checking the package, then had it verified.
