Confiscation for misdeclaration of exported gold was sustained under the provision addressing false declarations, because the declared gold content materially exceeded assay results and the exporter admitted misdeclaration; those 244 bangles remain confiscable but are ordered redeemable on payment of a fine equal to 10% of value and a reduced penalty under the penalty provision. By contrast, confiscation of duty free imported gold under the liberalized 20:80 scheme was set aside: such conditionally exempt goods, when not exported, attract duty liability under the scheme but do not constitute prohibited goods for confiscation.
