The magistrate may order screening or X-ray examination by a qualified radiologist, receive the report and pictures, and direct suitable action for removal of the goods under the advice and supervision of a registered medical practitioner; in the case of a female, a female registered medical practitioner is required. The section also permits custody for enforcement and excludes voluntary submission after admission of concealment.
