Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

If the customs authorities find that errors in the goods declaration entail liability to additional import duties and taxes, the production of additional supporting documents or the application of additional laws or regulations, and there is no evidence of illegal intent, they shall inform the declarant without delay. Where they are satisfied that the errors were inadvertent and that there has not been gross negligence on the part of the declarant, they shall allow him to amend his declaration and accomplish the necessary additional formalities without imposing a penalty.
