Narrative:

Flight was delayed several mins during taxi out waiting for the load closeout. When the load closeout came; the takeoff weight was greater than planned takeoff weight; but less than actual takeoff weight. The necessary adjustments were made in the CDU and standard power was used for takeoff. The takeoff appeared normal. 1 hour 42 mins after takeoff; dispatch informed us of a possible cargo loading error. 15 mins later; dispatch confirmed that 5204 pounds of air bag inflators intended to go to kix was loaded on our aircraft by mistake. Dispatch also informed us of the restr article class. Load sent a revised load closeout; with the increased weights and the RA location. I established voice contact with dispatch and discussed the situation. We examined the effects on the flight; and we concurred that the flight could continue safely to nrt and was the safest course of action. Dispatch sent a new flight plan showing the increase fuel burn. The necessary corrections were made to the FMC and the flight continued without further incident.
