That's a fine for carrying a few slaves or such which you generally get from illegal courier missions, however if you get caught hauling 532 Imperial Slaves the fine will be in the millions easily.

And of course you don't have to pay the fine, but failure to pay it may risk attention from Bounty Hunter's (Both NPC's and Players) Which for a ship built purely to haul cargo with little to no defensive ability can be a very bad thing to draw attention from.

On my current route I make 2,050,860M per trip, I get enough attention from Pirates as it is. (especially with the rise in Pirate players thanks to Archon Delaine - I ain't complaing I actually like being robbed, it's fun.) I don't need Bounty Hunter's breathing down my neck on top of that.
