02 January 2026 If goods are not aluminium, it is a mis-declaration case
Consequences usually include:
Differential duty + interest
Redemption fine
Penalty
Outright confiscation or arrest is rare

Apply immediately for provisional release under Section 110A
Engage a customs lawyer/CHA without delay
