Smuggling Goods (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is what goodies often become like by the end
My surname can be traced back to Cornwall, a place known for smuggling goods into England for centuries. So it's clearly in my blood! There may or may not be some smuggling going on in this puzzle. It got past the border police, so hopefully you're smarter than them and can locate the answer to the meta, which is what goodies often become like by the end.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
