I guess this will depend entirely on what kind of scenario you have in 
mind. 

Some examples:
* Mercs are officially and openly employed by a government to bolster 
its forces, perhaps to put down a rebellion. Other nations are neutral. 
Mercs arrive on the government's ships. 

* Mercs hired by a guerrilla movement against a ruling government. 
Mercs and their weapons are smuggled in on blockade runners, probably 
in small packets and  men separate from weaponry. 

* Mercs go rogue and decide to take over a minor colony. Mercs charter 
a suitable civilian ship and pack everything on board. 

* Mercs hired by a government to do some dirty work. For deniability, 
the government arranges chartered shipping via its secret service. 

etc.
