In GTA Online, there are 8 types of cargo you can source and sell via the Smuggler’s Run DLC. All of them have varying levels of profit and expertise in acquiring them. So, for your convenience, we have noted down the most profitable cargo from worst to best. Let’s get started!

3 . Lowest: Counterfeit Goods, Tobacco, and Alcohol

First up, we have counterfeit goods and tobacco and alcohol where the bonus is the lowest of all the air cargo. For a full warehouse of 50 crates, the bonus is 50%. Not only that, but the total cool-down time for the cargo is also an average of 2 minutes for each crate. So, for a full stock of these goods, you’ll get a total of $750,000.

How Profitable it is:

  • 50 crates give a 50% bonus
  • Cooldown time is 2 minutes per crate
  • Max stock price is $750,000

How to get it:

  • Via the sourcing menu in the game

2 . Mid-tier: Jewelry &Gemstones, Arts & Antiques 

Jewelry and Gemstones along with Arts and antiques initially provide less than the previous two with a small number of crates, but if you possess over 30 crates the total stock becomes worth much more. A 30-crate stock will give out a 24% bonus and finally, a full stock will give you a 60% bonus and rounds out at $800,000. The cooldown time is 3 days for this type of cargo.

How Profitable it is:

  • 50 crates give a 60% bonus
  • Cooldown time is 3 minutes per crate
  • Max stock price is $800,000

1 . Best: Animal Materials, Narcotics, Chemicals

Animal Materials, Narcotics, and Chemicals are the best of the bunch in this case. So you could combine the use of these three to make some good profit as well. There is a three-day cooldown for the complete stock, which gives you a 60% bonus and a total of $800,000.
