Currently, about $210,000$ cubic meters of material are shipped annually from China and Taiwan. This is expected to grow about $10$ percent per year over the next five years. About $82$ percent of all the volume shipped from China and Taiwan are sent directly from the suppliers in $20-$foot and $40-$foot containers that are packed by the supplier at the supplier site. Approximately $16$ percent are packed in the $20-$foot containers and $84$ percent in $40-$foot containers. The $20-$foot containers can hold $36$ cubic meters $($CBM$)$ of material and the $40-$foot containers, $71$ CBM$.$ The cost to ship a $20-$foot container is $$430$ and a $40-$foot container, $$530$ from any port location in China or Taiwan and to either Los Angeles or Seattle. Grainger estimates that these supplier$-$filled containers average $85$ percent full when they are shipped
