duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to spark-
ignition internal combustion engines (free) for the foreign status 
components and materials noted below and in the existing scope of 
authority.
    Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign status production equipment.

shafts; cylinder heads; cannonball heads; spring retainers; shift 
forks; compensators; pulleys; gears; metal gaskets; voltage regulators;

harnesses; roller followers; gears for engines; shafts for engines; 
sleeves; sliders; counter shafts; shift forks; main shafts; output 
shafts; ratchet shifters; retainers; shift drums; pinions; water 
temperature sensors; and, thermostats (duty rate ranges from free to
