Answer

From my limited knowledge I'd guess an average of #2K not including trucking costs from the port or tariffs and other import fees and customs fees etc.

------------

Due to high fuel costs in mid 2008, a 40-foot container will cost about $8000.

From http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/08/02/business/03global.php
The cost of shipping a 40-foot, or 12-meter, container from Shanghai to the United States has risen to $8,000, compared with $3,000 early in the decade, according to a recent study of transportation costs.
