Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk women's woven swimwear from China by ocean, declared at $8.00 each (FOB). The value is $4,000.00; duty at 21.2% is $848.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $5.00. Duty and fees come to $887.58, or $1.78 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $487.58, $0.98 per unit, saving $0.80 per unit.
