thumb|upright=1.35|British H.M. Revenue & Customs officers with seized smuggled tobacco, 2014. Smuggling is the illegal transportation of objects, substances, information or people, such as out of a house or buildings, into a prison, or across an international border, in violation of applicable laws or other regulations. More broadly, social scientists define smuggling as the purposeful movement across a border in contravention to the relevant legal frameworks.
Smuggling is the illegal movement of objects, substances, information, or people across borders or into restricted places like prisons, done in violation of applicable laws. It matters because it represents a widespread form of law-breaking that authorities work to prevent and prosecute.
