Say you ship 500 silk women's knit suits from China by ocean, declared at $18.00 each (FOB). The value is $9,000.00; duty at 20.9% is $1,881.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $11.25. Duty and fees come to $1,926.83, or $3.85 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $1,026.83, $2.05 per unit, saving $1.80 per unit.
