Shibaura would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry 
procedures that applies to diesel engines (free) for the foreign status

reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    Components and materials sourced from abroad include: Plastic 
hoses, gaskets, copper washers/gaskets, sign plates, relief valves, 
hose assemblies, thermostat covers/cases, valve bodies, sensors, 
resistors, radiators, and electronic control units (duty rate ranges
