This is an estimate, not a customs ruling. The right code depends on fiber content, knit or woven construction, gender and use; 23%+ wool, water-resistant fabrics, hand-loomed goods and other special cases can use other codes. Confirm with a licensed customs broker before you import.
Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk men's woven shirts from China by ocean, declared at $6.00 each (FOB). The value is $3,000.00; duty at 13.6% is $408.00; 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 $446.33, or $0.89 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $371.33, $0.74 per unit, saving $0.15 per unit.
| Item | China | Bangladesh |

| Customs value | $3,000.00 | $3,000.00 |
| Duty | $408.00 | $333.00 |
| Merchandise Processing Fee | $34.58 | $34.58 |
| Harbor Maintenance Fee | $3.75 | $3.75 |
| Shipment total | $446.33 | $371.33 |
| Per unit | $0.89 | $0.74 |
