Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 silk bras from China by ocean, declared at $3.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,500.00; duty at 22.7% is $340.50; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $1.88. Duty and fees come to $345.15, or $0.69 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $195.15, $0.39 per unit, saving $0.30 per unit.
| Item | China | Bangladesh |

| Duty | $340.50 | $190.50 |
| Merchandise Processing Fee | $2.77 | $2.77 |
