## Worked example: one shipment

Say you ship 500 synthetic towels from China by ocean, declared at $8.00 each (FOB). The value is $4,000.00; duty at 22.4% is $896.00; 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 $935.58, or $1.87 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $835.58, $1.67 per unit, saving $0.20 per unit.
