Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk women's woven suits from China by ocean, declared at $18.00 each (FOB). The value is $9,000.00; duty at 21% is $1,890.00; 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 $1,935.83, or $3.87 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $1,035.83, $2.07 per unit, saving $1.80 per unit.
