"Rum-running" is the movement of illicit liquor across water, such as rum from Cuba to the US in order to circumvent the long-standing embargo. "Bootlegging" is a similar term, usually used in reference to moving illicit liquor across land, such as from Canada to the US in order to circumvent taxation.
