## Worked example: one shipment

Say you ship 500 cotton woven hats & baseball caps from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 45% is $450.00; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $1.25. Duty and fees come to $454.02, or $0.91 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $179.02, $0.36 per unit, saving $0.55 per unit.
