I was recently talking with a guy in the shipping industry. A 20ft 
container, the basic unit of measure even though they now have 40ft 
units, now costs $400 to ship from China to the US west coast. There are 
some variations depending on the contents, but that is the most common 
price.

At that rate the cost per unit of the stuff inside is essentially free.
