During a SE I have agreed with returning the malfunctioning item to the company, since the item weight almost 60g I was just planning of boxing them if not that they use DHL courier to ship the item and DHL wants (according to their T&S) to check and inspect the item before they ship.

Reserving the return I've just got an email from DHL that say:

Thank you for scheduling a courier pickup with DHL!
...
Do not seal your shipment as the courier must inspect the contents.
...

So what can I do now? Of course due to covid-19 this might be ignored and there might be no inspection whatsoever, but what if there will be?
I was thinking of sending the package with the package of the item empty but what if the courier wants to open it and inspect it? Or to send a sealed cheap new item similar to the one that I have to return and hoping that the company will just check (taking advantage also about the fact that is near the Christmas) the package has just arrived to their warehouse without opening it.

Any other advice?
