Section 80 of the Customs Act is the specific mechanism for detention and return or re-export of dutiable or prohibited articles in passenger baggage, available only where the passenger makes a true declaration under Section 77. Section 125 provides a general, discretionary power to allow redemption of confiscated prohibited goods on payment of fine, but does not independently permit re-export or override Section 80. Applying the principle that a special provision prevails over a general provision, undeclared gold intercepted after the passenger crossed the Green Channel could not be re-exported through redemption where no Section 80 detention was sought. Revisional correction of such legally impermissible discretion was within statutory power.
