Custom duty/clearance question

Hi, one of my shipment is getting ready this week.
 
Total number of items are like 15 and box weight would be around 15kg or so, with box size around 150cm x 100cm. And invoice value to be around 600-700$.
 
 
My question is,
 
  1. Shall we ship all in one box or break them in small boxes like 4 different boxes for all items ?
  2. Do the customs treat the personal and commercial shipments differently ?
  3. For example, if I import 2 jackets in my personal name, and if I import 2 jackets in company name+IEC code, does that get treated differently or is the duty high ?
  4. What do you recommend ?
  5. My sole concern is for a easier clearance without any delay and cheaper customs duty. 
  6. Is there any registration or something, which we can do to take custom duty exemption ?
