Samsung 55JS9000 TV dilemma

[ISO]

55" Class JS9000 Curved 4K SUHD Smart TV TVs - UN55JS9000FXZA | Samsung US

Friends Im getting this 2015 model very cheap, almost half that of India Price in Bahrain but afraid of custom duty at the airport.

Q1. How much will be custom duty at the airport?

Q2. How it is live with curve TV? Because for curve TV you have to sit at the center to get its advantage.

Hi I have taken 2 TVs last year last one was on 30th Dec 2016 and paid taxes at airport

You will have to pay 36% exchange rate will based on the custom department adviser of the invoice amount , and only cash accepted no any other mode of payment accepted at the airport.

Make sure go with enough cash or someone to come at airport with cash.
if not you have to keep the TV at custom and get released once you pay them the money.

This was at Bangalore international airport.

Even after paying 36% still total amount you paid for TV will good price.

Thanks Sunil

I have also heard that some time they take local sell value and not invoice value for the calculation of Tax. In that case it will be high on my pocket.
