What are the exact penalties for carrying a contraband with you ? I need some slaves for my agent offer, but they are illegal in this agent's system. There are customs ships at each gate and security level is 0.9. What will happen if I'll enter this region/system with slaves on board ? Faction loss (one time, or for every jump) ? Fine ? Confiscation of goods ? They will just kill me ?
If anything serious can happen (confiscation/killing), how it is then possible to transport such illegal cargo to agent ?

I bet U didn't see that one coming did you?
Now for the 'illegal goods", when U enter the system U will be warp scrambled and webbed by Customs. They will give U a choice: give it up , get a fine and a standing loss or not.If U choose not to give it up U will lose your ship in about 1 second and then they blow the can. U will still get a standing loss, but no fine.
U can try to evade them using insta's and luck.

Would it be possible to sneak through customs cloaked? Or do you decloak automatically when jumping?

So in this case, an empire which is presumeably against slavery (which is why they're illegal to haul in their territory) will destroy the ship and the can containing the slaves. Or is the Republic now only accepting freed slaves who know how to breathe vacuum? ---- "Well in this case, he's being flamed, and rightly so, for whinning about a game mechanic that doesn't actually exist." -Lorth |

If U give them up nothing will happen to your ship but if U don't they will first blow you up and than the can.
So when U accept they confiscate the slaves, if not ... they kill'em

Read the information on the good. That's what the legal tab is there for. It lists what will happen when you're caught with it.
The customs officers have a 90% chance to find your illegal goods when they scan you. They are pretty unimpressed by cloaking.
Sometimes there are customs officers at a station.
Instas will help you on the way to a gate by reducing your time until you leave the system.
Nothing will help you on the other side if the gate while aligning for warp but sheer luck. You can use a nimble ship with nanofibers and/or stabilizers to reduce the danger. Another way would be to hire pilots to take out the customs officers or to scout both sides of the gates. The customs officers sometimes leave the gate.
Many pilots at a gate seem to help a bit with lowering the chance to be scanned.
Here a few rumors: Black Market Trade works or it does not work. Many items in your cargo hold help or not. High standing with the local authorities helps - or not. Customs officers in lower sec systems take a while before they scan ships.

Thank you for the answers.
So to reassume - there is no even semi reliable way to get illegal goods through two warps in high-level security system. How then the agent offers requiring such goods are supposed to be fullfilled ? This one is already my 4th offer from Minmatar agents expecting some slaves to be freed.
