misdeclared
Wrongly stated officially
Misdeclared means declared incorrectly or falsely, typically on official documents.
The term appears most often in customs and shipping contexts, where goods may be misdeclared to evade duties or regulations: The container held misdeclared cargo—labeled as textiles but containing electronics.
Misdeclared income or assets suggests either error or deliberate fraud.
