https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=796472 Truthful baggage declaration under Section 77 is a condition for detention and later return or re-export under the special passenger-baggage regime in Section 80. Section 125 provides a general discretionary redemption power for confiscated prohibited goods on payment of fine, but does not create an independent right to re-export or override the declaration and detention requirements. Permitting re-export of undeclared gold under Section 125 would defeat the safeguards in Sections 77 and 80.
