Smuggling
If you feel like give the old smuggling game a pop to make a bit of cash, then you're a bigger muppet than I think you realise. Wise up. Reminder - there are death penalties in certain countries around the world for smuggling drugs and you are unlikely to get off because you have a good brief.
Accidental smuggling
This is something you may unwittingly do e.g. animal products, souvenirs that may be described as 'offensive weapons' in a court of law (that bargain Zulu spear you bought!), buying clothes and other products that you should be paying duty on. To be honest, common sense will dictate whether you accidentally smuggle or not. However, a bit of education on these matters never goes amiss:
