## Worked example: one shipment

Say you ship 500 synthetic backpacks from China by ocean, declared at $5.00 each (FOB). The value is $2,500.00; duty at 55.1% is $1,377.50; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $3.13. Duty and fees come to $1,383.40, or $2.77 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $695.90, $1.39 per unit, saving $1.38 per unit.
