Since AP Style Guide is to change everything to Customary, I'm surprised this

"CNNMoney.com quotes Panjiva, another market research firm that claims that 3 
million kilograms were shipped in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 1 
million kilograms last year. You don't have to be a metric system expert to 
know that is a lot of sanitizer." 
 
Perhaps not ideal metric usage, but superior to 6.6 million pounds.  3Gg is too 
much to hope for, but 3000 metric tons would have been better.
