What is Ocean Freight from Hong Kong to the Port of Baltimore
currently running as a percentage?  I just bought $15,000 worth of
lightweight satin items for my wholesale distribution company on the
East Coast.  The importer I used, who is paying for the freight, is
charging me $25,000.  How much was the freight?  Is it 40% (or $6,000)
or more?  Less?  I need to know hom much the importer made off of me.

My wife is Hong Kong Chinese, and worked as a shipping clerk in Hong
Kong for 12 years. She says that for a 20-foot container, the standard
freight charge would be about $1,300-$1,500 (depending on routing),
plus about $300-$400 per shipment for fuel charges, plus tugboat
charges (local for Port of Baltimore), as well as Terminal Handling
Charges. She also mentioned taxes/duties....don't know if these are
applicable or not.

So....add all those together and see what you get. Hope this helps.
