I want to get into hi-sec smuggling but I'm not exactly sure what mods are actually necessary. I've tried searching in the forums for something specific but couldn't find anything recent since the rubicon launch. I fly mainly gallente and minmatar and I was just wondering if someone could tell me a little about smuggling and how I should be fitting out my ship. Also, are there any tactics and things I should know about evading concord? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Op, there are no mods.

You get caught by Customs at the gates, so you have to avoid those, Blockade runner or JF can jump them from a hub to low or null.

I am not sure how to reliably move them around high sec with out having an alt with a negative wallet and occasionally loosing your cargo to Customs.

create fresh toon on your account (disposable) and train hull upgrades (16 minutes or so).

get a t1 frig from any race - choose the one with best align time and slap t1 nanofibers (can be meta, they should be cheap too).
if you want to get boosters from lowsec to jita, you need to basically burn without any mwd cloak tricks etc. simple as that.
Now, probably you're gonna be caught on one or 2 gates with your cargo and pay 65k isk per booster (at least for standard it's 65k isk) and that will make your wallet negative. what you need to do, is to fleet up with your alt in jita and warp it to a safe. When your frig with boosters arrives, warp him to your jita alt, jettison boosters, pickup with jita alt and dockup. you can't simply go to a station, and trade/contract it, because you're gonna have negative wallet.

You cant scan the hold of blockade runners... not sure if that stops customs tho.

Customs will scan your blockade runner just fine, even though players can't.
