## Worked example: one shipment

Say you ship 500 silk T-shirts & tank tops from China by ocean, declared at $6.00 each (FOB). The value is $3,000.00; duty at 15.1% is $453.00; 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 $491.33, or $0.98 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $416.33, $0.83 per unit, saving $0.15 per unit.
