An officer may, for the purpose of verifying the documents delivered under subsection (1), require such consignor, person or consignee, as the case may be, to permit the officer to examine such goods.
If such consignor, person or consignee fails to deliver the documents referred to in subsection (2), an officer may refuse to accept the goods unless in respect thereof a charge, not exceeding the highest dues payable for any class of goods, is paid.
If any document delivered under subsection (1) is found to be false in any material particular, an officer may refuse to deliver such goods unless a charge, not exceeding double the highest dues payable for any class of goods, is paid.
