(3) An application may be granted—

(a) in the case of a joint application, other than to all the applicants;

(b) to remit a liability or to make a repayment of an amount different to that stated in the application, so long as the amount does not exceed that provided by the applicable reduced duty case;

(i) fewer goods than stated in the application; or

(c) declared for an inward processing or storage procedure but such a consent is not an authorisation to make the declaration.
