Non-declared gold ornaments carried as baggage may remain liable to confiscation, but confiscability is distinct from the discretion to permit redemption on payment of fine. The note states that this discretion depends on the nature of the breach, passenger conduct and surrounding circumstances, including whether the goods are finished personal ornaments and whether carriage indicates organised smuggling.
