I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:
SALE (commercial deal), containing (smuggling) D (Roman numeral for 500) + D (abbreviation for diamonds, in card games). Land, as a verb = saddle = to encumber with something unwanted, as in “that might land you with a big tax bill”.
