Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk knit ties from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 21.2% is $212.00; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $1.25. Duty and fees come to $216.02, or $0.43 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $116.02, $0.23 per unit, saving $0.20 per unit.
| Item | China | Bangladesh |
|---|---|---|
| Customs value | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 |
| Duty | $212.00 | $112.00 |
| Merchandise Processing Fee | $2.77 | $2.77 |
| Harbor Maintenance Fee | $1.25 | $1.25 |
| Shipment total | $216.02 | $116.02 |
| Per unit | $0.43 | $0.23 |
