It is because of the chemicals that they have to spray on them going through customs to kill all bugs that may have gotten into/on the boxes. I work for a company that imports educational toys and furniture for children from China and Thailand and our products have a distinct "smell" and this is why.

Seriously... maybe it's you. I've never had funny smelling imports from China.
