If you bring it, you should explain it well and leave it in the customs. You can pick it up when you return. If you are just traveling from China to the UAE, don't bring it. It's not useful and very troublesome. The latest information: DJI has been successfully retrieved. Because I was checked at the customs in T3 and my return flight was at T1, I went to the customs in T3 at 3 p.m. on the day of my return and was told that I needed to pay a "storage fee" of 170 AED in cash. After paying the fee, they asked me what time my flight was and which terminal it was at. My flight was at 9:30 p.m. at T1. They told me I needed to be at the customs in T1 by 5:30 p.m. to pick it up. I went to the customs office in T1 on time and waited. Due to the flight delay that day, they said they could only give it to me when the gate was open. Finally, at 6:30 p.m., I could check in my luggage. The customs officer escorted me to the China Southern Airlines check-in counter until the drone was packed and placed on the luggage conveyor belt. Then the customs officer said "enjoy your flight" and left. So I suggest that if you are traveling to the UAE specifically, it's best not to bring a drone. It's not useful and you will have to pay unnecessary fees and go through a lot of trouble.
