"Smuggle" in this case probably just looks like "put it in a FedEx box and mail it". I think you'd probably find it challenging to actually intentionally have a delivery of spy drones even looked at by a customs official.

Foreign packages are xray’ed, no?

Every package is screened in some way, but very few are x-rayed. They are looking for drugs, currency, stolen antiquities, stuff like that. It is hard for a lay-person to look at a collection of electronics and know if it is the guts of a VCR or an advanced spy drone.

Joke I heard at Livermore: worst case, hide it in a bail of marijuana.

Less facetiously: all manner of drones are imported into America every day, especially from China.
