  Before you can smuggle contraband you will need a ship with a shielded cargo hold. If you have the credits the vendor in Atalantis near the landing pad usually sells ships that already have this. If not you will have to find a vendor that sells a Shielded Cargo Hold and equip it to your ship.
  
  Easiest way to get contraband is to steal it from contraband caches in security checkpoints and/or jails. (requires expert lockpicking at most.) There is one on the Planet Gagarin (Alpha Centauri - Gagarin - Gagarin Landing) the security checkpoint is right next to the landing pad. Steal the contraband from the cache.
  
  Once you have contraband put it in your cargo hold on your ship and fast travel to another planet to get scanned. (Make a manual save before hand)
  
  Once you've been successfully scanned the achievement will unlock.

  @Trombinafide where do I find the Quest?
  
  @KenjiMania no she won’t

  @Trombinafide You can find the Mantis quest by killing spacers and looking at their body for loot. It will be a slab called SECRET OUTPOST! Pick up that slab and go to your notes page to actually "read" it. Once you have read it, just follow the instructions for the quest.
  
  I will say that the mission will kind of lead you to the hangar where the ship is located. Go up to the platform and flip the lever to release the ship. BUT then turn around and go to the left of the stairs you came down. That will lead to a room that has the mantis armor in a case. OH I almost forgot. The password to get past the "kill room" is TYRANNIS. You will have to walk across each letter one at a time like the floor in the Goldeneye 64 Temple.

  If you have a ship with 150 shielded, then your contraband will have to be in the first 150 cargo of your ship. If it is added after 150, it won't be shielded.

  Travel to Porrima System > Plant Porrima III > Red Mile > Speak to Lon Anderrsen > click mod ship > in equipment buy a scan jammer > in cargo buy a storage bay that has the word shielded in its name.
  
  Then follow this video, don't go to Wolf and sell. Store your cargo in the ship, its a blue LCD screen left side of your cockpit. Then travel to Jemison and try and smuggle the contraband. Make a save after you get the contraband and put it your cargo, if this planet fails reload and try another
