H.G. Wells' the Invisible Man

At the Paris airport, a man swipes Peter's bag and passport, wraps his head in gauze, and passes through customs unmolested because they assume he's Dr. Peter Brady. This subterfuge allows him to smuggle a shipment of cocaine into Britain without being apprehended. Upset over the impersonation, Peter works with two undercover Scotland Yard officers to get to the leader of the drug operation.
