Note that #+BOX is not a valid affiliated keyword. Only keywords from
org-element-affiliated-keywords + #+ATTR_X keywords are considered
affiliated.

So, you example is actually parsed as

<keyword :name "BOX" ...>
<paragraph>

not as

<paragraph :BOX ...>

In addition to special blocks suggested by others, a natural way to
customize paragraph export is using #+ATTR_YOURBACKEND keywords.

Something like

#+ATTR_BACKEND: :style attention
This text will appear with a red background

Then, you can use

(plist-get (org-export-read-attribute :attr_backend paragraph-element)
           :style)
           
from inside the paragraph transcoder.
