payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production (estimated at five percent of production). On its domestic 
sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted below, RNA 
would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures 
that apply to energy drinks, soft drinks and other non-alcoholic 
beverages (duty rate--0.2 cents/liter). RNA would be able to avoid duty
