Sorry to be always seeming like a devils advocate here, but it seems highly possible that a shipment of thousands of pounds of "household goods," might actually have contained household goods, which US staff may ship to and from overseas posts. Or it could possibly be something criminal, smuggling children or whatever.... but the simple explanation is sometimes right.

And 100 kids for 1820kg would be 18kg kids, too small and delicate to shove in a container I would think.

God knows American govt facilities would cease to function without the superior Dominican crafted ironing boards

40lbs is pretty much what you would expect the average child coming out of Haiti after a massive earthquake to weigh.

Why 100 kids? Seems like this is often more of a delicacy market. Pardon the expression (for the love of whatever you believe in), but a quality over quantity business. Maybe I missed a piece count as shipping manifests probably are required to have. I remember when I shipped everything I owned from Korea back home I had to have one. The numbers however were considerably higher than a hundred, while the weight was probably pretty close.

Hmm you're right, but I thought I may as well let it out there.
