Mulțumesc, Iuliana.

Tot smuggle e primul cuvant care imi vine si mie in minte, nu stiu daca e suficient de formal, dar vad ca este cel mai utilizat in engleza. Ca o alternativa, pur si simplu bring X goods illegally into the country.

to import unlawfully / illegally (goods unauthoris/zed) into the country

to start the ball rolling for real Romanian translators...

Smuggle is also usable, though 'sneak' (goods / a motor vehicle)into the country is a colloquial turn of phrase that first occur(r)ed to me,as far as I could make sense of the Romanian.

Difference between unlawfully and illegally: the former IMO - apart from unlawful killing by driving - can be a civil offence in tort e.g. where the paperwork isn't quite right, whereas the latter is usually criminal.
Example sentence:

What is the value of the cultural goods that are imported illegally (in)to the EU?
