The appeals to reappraisemeut listed in schedule A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, bring for determination the proper dutiable value of certain sulphite paper imported from Gothen-burg, Sweden, and entered at the port of Jacksonville, Fla.

In all of the cases, except reappraisements 135570-A and 136455-A, entry and appraisement were made at foreign-market value; the entered prices, having been made under duress to meet advances by the appraiser in pending test cases. With respect to reappraisements Í35570-A and 136455-A, the merchandise was entered under duress at export value and appraised as entered.

When the cases were called for trial at Jacksonville on January 18, 1943, the parties entered into a stipulation wherein it is agreed the proper basis for appraisement of the instant merchandise is export value, as defined in section 402 (d) of the said act, and that such export values are those set forth in schedule B, attached hereto and made a part hereof.
