I have some experience with international shipments.  The tank would have to
be emptied, but would still need to be declared as a dangerous good.  This
isn't a big deal, but the shipper I work for charges a dangerous goods fee
which is the rule in the industry.

Getting the tank shipped from Nihon wouldn't be impossible, but would cost
some extra money.
