Section 378 - Making a false mark upon any receptacle containing goods.

Whoever makes any false mark upon a case, package or any other receptacle containing goods in a manner reasonably calculated to cause a public officer or any other person to believe that the receptacle contains goods which it does not contain or that it does not contain goods which it does contain or that the goods contained in such receptacle are of a nature or quality different from the real nature or quality thereof, shall, unless he proves that he acted without intent to defraud, be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with fine or with both.
