I know it's kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that's also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.

just like cocaine busts, they use the highest possible price as reference

And it's probably gross weight, not net weight.

Idk, 65 tons of fireworks could put on a pretty good show.
