shipping costs would be trivial compared to tariffs i would think
if so that is kind of sloppy communication to mention shipping costs and not tarrifs

tariffs can run up to 30%
these units cost $20k retail or something
it would not cost 1k to ship the
but you might pay a $6k tariff

and while there are exemptions for environmental tech sometimes, it takes a while to get them
so while saving on shipping is probably nice, saving on tariffs is even more helpful

both combined probably dont offset the cost of cutting in a partner
if they weren't in a hurry to close a sale, they could start their own mftring concern in a country with good pan asian export tariff treaties

but since they dont close sales fast, i think the short run interest of having someone culturally prepared to do business in asia trumps the long run interest in making more money instead of less money
