Looking to make quick cash in San Diego Border Roleplay? Smuggling in San Diego Border Roleplay lets you buy goods from the Black Market Goods Shop, sneak them across the border without getting caught, and sell them to the Smuggled Goods Seller for profit. However, each item has a price, detection chances, and rewards, so choosing wisely is key to balancing risk and earnings. Here's a complete list of all Smuggling Goods in San Diego Border Roleplay, their prices, detection rates, and estimated profits.
How Smuggling Works in San Diego Border Roleplay
The smuggling loop is pretty simple:
- Buy Smuggling Goods from the Black Market Goods Shop near spawn.
- Get in your Vehicle and Cross the border while avoiding detection by Border Patrol.
- Reach the Smuggled Goods Seller on the other side.
- Sell your goods for a profit.
The tricky part is getting across the border. Every smuggled item has a detection percentage, which represents how risky it is to carry that particular item through the border.
Generally, cheaper and less suspicious goods have lower detection rates, while more valuable items come with much higher risks. In other words, you have to decide whether you're playing it safe or going full criminal mastermind.

1. Crate of Avocado
- Purchase Price: $150
- Detection Chance: 10%
- Risk Level: Very Low
If you're new to smuggling, the Crate of Avocado is probably the best place to start. It costs only $150 and has a 10% detection chance, making it the safest smuggling good in the current lineup. The downside is that its profit is relatively low, but that's the price you pay for keeping Border Patrol away from your business.
The crate sells for an estimated $300, giving you roughly $150 profit per successful run.
Best for: Beginners and safe smuggling runs.
2. Wagyu Beef
- Purchase Price: $350
- Detection Chance: 20%
- Risk Level: Low
Apparently, Wagyu beef is valuable enough to smuggle across the border. Who knew? The Wagyu Beef costs $350 and has a 20% detection chance, putting it slightly above the avocado crate in terms of risk. However, the estimated selling price is around $700, giving you approximately $350 profit.
It's a nice middle ground if you want more money without taking a huge jump in risk.
Best for: Players looking for a balance between safety and profit.
3. Fake Designer Sneakers
- Purchase Price: $700
- Detection Chance: 35%
- Risk Level: Medium
Things start getting more interesting with Fake Designer Sneakers. These cost $700 and have a 35% detection chance, meaning Border Patrol is considerably more likely to catch you compared to the safer options.
The upside? You can potentially sell them for around $1,400, giving you an estimated $700 profit from a successful run. That's a pretty good return, but you'll need to be more careful while crossing the border.
Best for: Players willing to accept moderate risk for better profits.
4. Fake Diamond Ring
- Purchase Price: $1,000
- Detection Chance: 45%
- Risk Level: High
Now we're getting into serious smuggling territory. The Fake Diamond Ring costs $1,000 and has a 45% detection chance. That makes it one of the riskiest goods you can carry, but the potential reward is also much higher.
A successful sale can bring in around $2,000, resulting in an estimated $1,000 profit. It's essentially a coin flip between making a nice chunk of cash and getting caught with a suspicious-looking ring.
Best for: Experienced players chasing bigger profits.
5. Witches Brew
- Purchase Price: $500
- Detection Chance: 60%
- Risk Level: Very High
The Witches Brew is easily the weirdest item on the list and also the riskiest. It costs only $500 but has a massive 60% detection chance, making it the item most likely to get you caught during a smuggling run.
However, the estimated selling price is around $1,200, giving you roughly $700 profit if you successfully make it across. The profit is good, but the detection rate is brutal. You could make more money than you would with Wagyu Beef, but you're also taking a significantly bigger gamble.
Best for: Players who enjoy living dangerously.

Which Smuggling Good Should You Buy?
There's no single best Smuggling Good for every player. Your choice depends on how much money you're willing to risk.
- Safest Smuggling Good: The Crate of Avocado is the safest option, with only a 10% detection chance. Its profit isn't spectacular, but it's ideal if you don't want every trip across the border to turn into a police chase.
- Best Balance of Risk and Profit: Wagyu Beef is arguably the best middle-ground option. With a 20% detection chance and an estimated $350 profit, it gives you a better payout without dramatically increasing your risk.
- Best High-Profit Option: If you're comfortable taking some risks, Fake Diamond Ring offers an estimated $1,000 profit per successful run. The problem is the 45% detection chance, so you should be prepared to lose the run more often than with safer goods.
- Riskiest Smuggling Good: That award goes to Witches Brew. With a 60% detection chance, it is the riskiest item currently available. Its estimated $700 profit is tempting, but you'll need some luck to consistently get it across the border.
Tips for Smuggling Goods
- Start With Cheap Goods: If you're learning how the smuggling system works, don't immediately spend $1,000 on a Fake Diamond Ring. Start with the Crate of Avocado or Wagyu Beef and learn the border-crossing mechanics first.
- Don't Chase Profit Blindly: The item with the biggest payout isn't automatically the best choice. Detection chance matters just as much as the selling price.
- Upgrade Your Risk Gradually: Once you're comfortable making successful runs, move from low-risk goods to higher-value ones. This lets you increase your potential earnings without constantly losing your investment.
- Keep Some Cash in Reserve: Don't spend every dollar on Smuggling Goods. Getting caught can ruin a run, so keeping some money available gives you room to recover and try again.
