I've traded battle weapons, combat stabilizers, slaves, imperial slaves, rare goods and tobacco in the past. I should note that I haven't traded in contraband for at least 3 weeks (excluding rare goods), but I doubt anything's changed since last I smuggled.
@Metkis: In my experience I've almost always made profits, sometimes massive, sometimes just a few hundreds of credits (or even less). But as far as illegal goods go I've had much more experience with stolen goods.. when I straight up smuggled it was usually when I was stuck in military/poor agriculture economy or an interesting anarchy and rolling the dice that wherever I'm going to will have a black market and wants the goods I'm smuggling.
I don't have any useful tips apart from taking 1t of every contraband you can get your hands on and checking the black market for what is in demand.
EDIT: Actually I do have one useful tip. If you have a constant trade route with a nearby anarchy system, you can stack up on your slave missions (2t slaves for 44-54k, or reputation gain). You have a 100+ hours to deliver them, so you can go for like 3 days earning a massive payout on the fourth. I did that when I was working for Sirius Corp. and Van Maanen Order.
