Contraband is illegal to possess or sell. In international trade, contraband can devalue real goods not only by diluting the market, but also by distributing lower-quality goods under a highly-respected trademark.
For example, say a given market can move about 2 containers of Marlboro cigarettes each month. If a smuggler brings in another container of real Marlboros, supply far outstrips demand, lowering the relative value of all of the cigarettes. If the smuggler instead brings in a container of low-quality cigarettes branded as Marlboros, the relative value is lowered because of the supply/demand offset, but in addition, consumers believe the quality of Marlboros has dropped.
There are various terms that could be used to describe goods that have been smuggled. For example, it could be called contraband.
