Correct mark-up for a form in a table

I was recently asked to develop a accessible shopping cart for
Wordpress. Currently I'm designing things for a specific use, but I am
hoping that I can further develop it for general release.

Part of the scripts involves being able to change shipping amounts for
various zones, within various classes. Not easy to explain, so I've
created an online example:

Now obviously I haven't used any <label>'s as yet. But if I add them
it would seriously mess up the layout. I realise they can be
positioned off screen with CSS, but is there an alternative?

Can JAWS navigate the form using the id and headers within the table?
I don't know if JAWS when in form mode allows this or not.

Any help would be appreciated.
