illicit goods

Illicit goods are items that are produced, sold, or bought in violation of laws. These include illegal drugs, counterfeit products, banned firearms, and stolen merchandise. Such goods often bypass safety standards and legal regulations, posing risks to health, safety, and security. Trading in illicit goods is usually linked to criminal activities and can lead to legal penalties. The international community actively works to combat this trade through law enforcement and regulatory measures to protect consumers and maintain lawful markets.
