How to circumvent contraband scans early without a shielded cargo hold.

[Perfect_Mayhem]

This can be done rather early. You need to get to the Cheyenne system and find Akila City. You do this by doing Sam Coe's quests with Constellation and The Lodge. Do his questline long enough to clear out The Empty Nest. After this has been accomplished, you will have everything you need except for the contraband, so go find some. Then jump back to planet Akila. You'll notice you can't just land at the city, you have to be scanned by ships in orbit first. As soon as they start scanning you, open the planet map and land at The Empty Nest before they complete the scan. Once you land, use the surface map to orient yourself to where you can walk about 1KM to Akila City, which has no fancy scanners to detect your contraband, and the Trade Authority will gladly take it off your hands.

Edit: My apologies for not realizing there was one sooner on.

Or just look for a quest involving a secret base.....

Or steal a pirate ship

Or you go to the space station in the Wolf-system where there's no scans and there's a Trade Authority store....

Edit: I think it's called "The End"

If there were space exploration, you could fly around them...

You can also just go to wolf system and go to the den to get rid of contraband. No stupid ships to scan you there.

Wolf system, "The Den" space station, when you dock and enter, go straight passed the first pillar then left to get to the Trader.

This is, by far, the easiest way. There is no fear of getting caught. Also, be aware that if you are in a system and find contraband, there is likely a place where you are at that will take it off your hands. You generally only get scanned when warping into a system, not if you are already there. Always make a save point if you're not against scumming and experiment.
