However, the defect was curable, the drugs control authorities permitted reprocessing, and the importers could rectify the deficiency so the goods could later satisfy the required standards. On that basis, the redemption fine was reduced, as the goods were not to be treated on the same footing as imports made in clear violation of customs law.
