I just got an offer today from my agent offering 1.3mil if I can get him 200 slaves (approx market value 140k). The only problem is that slaves are illegal in gallente federation. Is there something I can do like putting them in a can in my hold to avoid detection? Or is there some other way that I can pretty confidently do this without worrying to much about being caught? If not then I'll just forget it, its only 1.3mil but I figured I'd do it if theres a way I can smuggle them in without putting my ship/ 800% fine on the line.

Put them in an alt, then scout with another character at each jump in and gate. You will be good as long as there are no customs agents at the gates.

I noticed last night that customs officers seem to have working hours. There's usually a few of them near the gate to my home system. Last night near downtime the gate was clear and I was able to move a bunch of illeagal cargo in.

As far as I am aware there is only a chance of them scanning your cargo hold for contraband. The better your standings with sovereign system owners the less likely they will scan your hold.
Just after last major patch I was carrying slaves all over Gallante space with out any repercussions from Customs officials.
I had forgot to remove them from my ship. I am now looking for cheap labour to scrub me deck yarrrrrrrrrrr

Been quite a few threads about the smuggling trade and how to do it - most will be in the Crime and Punishment Forum, but you'll probably need to search for them a little.
There's lots of thoughts about how to do it but generally little concensus. Hiding contraband in cans certainly doesn't work. Some people say cloaks work and some say they don't. Scouting with an alt will certainly help in knowing when there's customs at a gate but you'll still have to get your gear past them.
I've noticed too that your security status may affect the chance of customs stopping and scanning you, but haven't put it properly to the test - all I know for sure is I have very good standing with the Caldari state and their customs have never scanned me.
A good set of instas is probably your best bet so you can come in right on top of a gate and jump before customs can lock on. And setting up your ship so it can align for warp as quickly as possible to leave a gate - I remember someone suggesting you may only have a few seconds after they start targetting lock to get into warp.
Beyond that check the info on whatever you're transporting to find out how illegal it is and judge what kind of response you can expect if caught. Unfortunately for you, Chritus, slaves are completely prohibited in the Gallente Federation - they'll be confiscated if you're caught in any Gallente system, you'll suffer a standing loss of 0.3, be fined to the cost of 800% the value of the slaves you're found with, and fired on if caught with them in any Gallente system of 0.4 or over.
So don't get caught

Alright well I think the best descision would be to refuse the offer. I forgot to mention the destination system is 1.0 . Anyway its only 1.3mil I'm not gonna risk all that much cash. But, thanks so much for all the replies they will help me a lot in the future if I ever find myself in a smuggling situation again.
