"Article 102 of the Supreme People's Court's interpretation on the application of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that if a party intentionally or through gross negligence submits evidence past the deadline, the people's court shall not accept it.

However, if the evidence is related to the basic facts of the case, the people's court shall accept it and reprimand the late party according to Article 68, and impose a fine pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 118 of the Civil Procedure Law.

If the evidence is provided past the deadline not due to intentional or gross negligence, the people's court shall accept it and reprimand the party.

In plain language, that means if your evidence is key evidence, the court will acknowledge it, but will fine you or even detain you, depending on how much trouble you've caused the court.
