They would actually try to use some strategy in delivering it.
Send it to some third world country labeled as industrial equipment. It would be received by a couple government operatives in that third world country who own a building there to carry out the operation.
Once they got it, they would transfer it to a second container that belongs to a different shipping company that was last used to deliver agricultural goods to that third world country.
They would send it to some fictional company in the target country, with the contents labeled as “produce” and the cargo handling system would get it there without them lifting another finger.
The target country would see the incoming container as just another shipment of produce to a domestic food processing company.
