Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk men's woven suits from China by ocean, declared at $18.00 each (FOB). The value is $9,000.00; duty at 23.8% is $2,142.00; 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 $2,187.83, or $4.38 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $1,287.83, $2.58 per unit, saving $1.80 per unit.
