according to export data from
the World Bank, the US imported US$1.4m
(A$2.23m) of products from Heard Island and
McDonald Islands in 2022, nearly all of which
was "machinery and electrical" imports. It
was not immediately clear what those goods
were.
So apparently the penguins are exporting machinery to the US.

You kid, but it feels me with sense of "is this a pointless action or will it fuck me over down the line?"
