Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk women's knit blouses, shirts & polos from China by ocean, declared at $6.00 each (FOB). The value is $3,000.00; duty at 20.9% is $627.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $3.75. Duty and fees come to $665.33, or $1.33 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $365.33, $0.73 per unit, saving $0.60 per unit.
