Accused of Drug Smuggling—Now What?
Drug smuggling involves the illegal import or export of drugs as distinct from the selling aspect of drug trafficking, drug possession or drug manufacture. If you are charged with drug smuggling, it is certain that there will be other drug crime charges added to the smuggling charge. If you are convicted, you could serve between 2 and 10 years at a federal prison.
an East Brunswick drug crime lawyer with extensive experience with drug trafficking and smuggling is critical to separate the types of charges to avoid a blanket of convictions being permanently attached to your reputation.
Felony convictions will follow you throughout your life, hindering your ability to:
- Work
- Vote
- Travel internationally
- Do other activities
- Own a firearm
High Intensity Drug Traffic Area Program & How it Affects Your Case

Between 2005 and 2011, there were over 1100 arrests at Newark International Airport and JFK Airport for smuggling drugs; the HIDTA status of this area makes law enforcement very aggressive when going after this type of illegal drug activity.
