Curious about this. I thought 32 inch was the sweet spot (a lot of people buy tvs from Dubai but they stick to a smaller size to avoid customs issues).

I saw people carrying larger screens, but not sure how much they paid at customs. Friend is asking me to carry one for him but I’m sure it’s a hassle.

I carried a 50” LG TV back in 2019. Emirates allowed it as one of the check in bags. The guy wanted to charge me $175 but when he measured the box, it was within allowed dimensions. Check this in as a “fragile” item so that it’s handled smoothly.

You are a good friend lol my dad went recently and was complaining about the iPhones his friend gave him to carry

I took a 32" couple of years ago and customs charged me ₹5000.

Bro

50 is the sweet spot!
