Everything to do with the Customs Office must be done in the system, and in space. While you can perform the Import/Export operations out in the dark at a safe spot (but uncloaked), you must go to a known location to actually pick up the goods from the Customs Office. The Launch Container method, while more expensive, can be done from anywhere in the universe, including docked at a station or cloaked. However, you will still have to go to the system to pick up your launch can, and others can pick it up too if you don't get there first. There are some nuances to this: The cans are on directional scan so people can chase them down, get a bookmark from you, or probe you down when you arrive on grid to pick it up. They do not appear with probes.

There are some nuances to this: The cans are on directional scan so people can chase them down with substantial effort (and know that you launched them), get a bookmark from you, or probe you down when you arrive on grid to pick it up. They do not appear with probes.

The Customs Office window is accessed either by right clicking on the Office, and choosing "Access Customs Office", or from the rocket icon on a Launch Pad on the planet below. Use "Open Hangar" on the Customs Office to access the container actually holding items.<br style="clear: both" />

To create a warpable bookmark (eg if you want to ask someone else to pickup for you), you must warp to the can and bookmark the can. There is no ranged warp available, but you might land more than 2000m from the can, so you may be able to do it without being decloaked. You (and others) can not probe down the launch canister with a combat probe, but they can probe down a ship picking up the package or use the directional scanner.
