The second proviso to Section 46(3) was applied as a discretionary power, so late fee on delayed supplementary Bills of Entry was not to be levied mechanically in every case. Where the original Bills of Entry had been filed in time, the excess cargo later detected formed part of the same consignments, and the delay was not attributable to the appellant, waiver was justified.
