Illegal importer or exporter (8)

I believe the answer is:

smuggler

(Other definitions for smuggler that I've seen before include "Importer of goods without paying duties" , "Exciseman's foe" , "Contrabandist" , "He tries to evade customs barriers" , "One who imports or exports without paying duties" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
