(Reap. Dec. 8601)
    Associated Merchandising Corp. et al. v. United States
    Entry No. WH 8826, etc.
    (Decided June 22, 1956)
    
      Barnes, Richardson & Colburn for the plaintiffs.
    
      George Cochran Doub, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
   Johnson, Judge:

The appeals for reappraisement fisted in schedule “A,” hereto attached and made a part hereof, have been submitted for decision upon tbe following stipulation of counsel for tbe parties hereto:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the attorneys for the parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that the merchandise covered by the appeals to reappraisement enumerated in Schedule A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, consists of chinaware imported from Germany.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED, that the appraised values of the merchandise covered by the appeals to reappraisement enumerated herein, less the additions made by the importer on entry because of advances by the Appraiser in similar cases, is equal to the market value or the price at the time of exportation of such merchandise to the United States, at which such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of the country from which exported, in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, for exportation to the United States including the cost of all containers and coverings of whatever nature and all other costs, charges, and expenses incident to placing the merchandise in condition, packed ready for shipment to the United States and that there was no higher foreign value for such or similar merchandise.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the cases may be submitted on the foregoing stipulation.

On tbe agreed facts I find tbe export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of tbe Tariff Act of 1930, to be tbe proper basis for tbe determination of tbe value of tbe merchandise bere involved, and that sucb values are tbe appraised values, less tbe additions made by tbe importer on entry because of advances by tbe appraiser in similar cases.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
