The '''Cold Trade''' is an [[Imperial]] term for the illegal, but highly profitable, smuggling of [[Xenos|xeno]]tech and other illicit goods into the Imperium.{{Fn|1}}
[[Rogue Trader]]s and [[Chartist captain]]s are known to partake in Cold Trading, where they can make a large profit, by traveling to out of the way [[system]]s to buy illegal goods and then later selling them in the Imperium for inflated prices. The risks for doing so are high for these Cold Traders, though, because if they are caught by the Imperium, they could have their ship impounded and be stripped of their license.{{Fn|1}}
