led tv 62 inch image

Cost of TV in US is ~$800.
After 2013-08-26, Indian govt amended a law that all flat panel TV's need to pay customes of 36.05% of actual indian rate of the same TV. Its very ambiguous by this news..below are my doubts
1.How Indian value of my TV calculated.
e.g
-i am taking a TV which was used one year in US
-If i am taking TV whose brand not found in India (my case is LG so there should not be issue)
- Indian TV's use PAL analog tuner but in US all TV's come with NTSC. how valuvation is done? i need to spend INR10000 more to buy good converter for this. I mean to say is that fair to calculate price directly to indian product.
2. If i stay in US more than 2 or 3 years and take used TV, how it will help me.
Can anyone say how much i need to pay as custom duty for my TV with above scenario.
There should some difference in calculating valuation on TV's from US and other Asia countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai.
TV's from US have lot of constraint like its comes with NTSC and works with 110 v.
Whereas TV's from Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai can be used directly in India without any converter.

There are few airlines which reject baggae on weight alone. in that case i can pay extra money to take it.
E.g: British airways reject baggage on Weight as well as Dimension. Though weight is less than BA guidelines its wont fit in dimension . so we cant take this in BA.
- Emirates reject baggage only on weight. But we need to pay extra money to take this to india in Emirates.

If you are more than 2 years in USA you can avail Transfer of Residence (TR), if you are planning to return back for good . Even if you avail TR benefit, it's not certain whether you will pay reduced duty or not.
If you have used TV, the value will reduce much more and if you have receipt to prove your case that would help.
With Emirates they allow it to carry if you combine two baggage to make 107 inches (One piece 62 and another 45 inches W + D + H).

They said i have to measure the tv and do not exceed 62 lineal inches. What size tv could I buy with 62 lineal inches or less. Otherwise i have to pay $120.00 . please let me know thanks

well of course you'll want to have the tv protectively packed, so really it's the size of the box. if you assume 6 inches for depth (or thickness), that leaves 62-6=56 inches for length plus width. 1.6 is a good estimate of form factor aspect ratio, so 56/2.6 = 22 inches (the height) and 34 inches (the width).
so a box that is 22" by 34" by 6"
for size of TV, subtract at least 2 inches from H and W
20" by 32"
so maybe a 37" (diagonal) TV -- but you'll have to check actual size. you don't want to show up at airport with package that's too big.
if you check websites of either manufacturers or vendors, you may find package dimensions (assuming you use the original box).
