(4) If the goods do not so correspond, the fact shall be reported by the warehouse-keeper for the orders of the appropriate officer, and the goods shall either be returned to the custom-house in charge of an officer of customs or kept in deposit pending such orders as the warehouse-keeper deems most convenient. 44[(5) if the quantity or value of any goods has been incorrectly stated in the goods declaration, due to inadvertence or bona fide error, the Collector of Customs may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, direct the correction of the said error.]
