## Worked example: one shipment

Say you ship 500 synthetic woven hats & baseball caps from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB), about 0.1 kg each (this code also has a per-kg duty). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 44.3% + 18.7¢/kg is $452.35; 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 $456.37, or $0.91 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $181.37, $0.36 per unit, saving $0.55 per unit.
