It's no surprise to Perfikot that there's a black market and smuggling in the city.
After all, even in the original world, two hundred years later these things were unavoidable, let alone now when the legal system and management in various aspects can't be considered sound?
Just knowing that such things have their reasons and soil for existence, no matter how hard you fight, they can't be completely eradicated. Yet, Perfikot still deployed Chernobyl's police and City Guard to clean up the black market and smuggling channels in the city.
During ordinary times, she would turn a blind eye to these things. After all, although smuggling isn't great, it could be considered a supplement to resources for the current situation in the Northern Territory.
Since people are willing to engage in it, those who buy things at the black market are able to afford it, so there's no need to regulate it too tightly.
