This appeal for reappraisement has been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for tbe parties hereto:

It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of tbe court:
(1) That as to the merchandise involved herein, represented on the invoice by the items marked “A” and initialed “GRG” by Examiner G. R. Gulick, the market value or price at the time of exportation, 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, plus, when not included in such price, the cost of 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, was the invoiced unit prices, packed.
(2) That at the time of exportation there was no higher foreign value for this merchandise and that the appraisement made under authority of the Presidential proclamation published in T. D. 46158 was not applicable to said merchandise, based upon the decisions in Reap. Dec.’s 4444 and 4570.
(3) That the appeal as to all other merchandise not marked with the letter “A” as stated above and contained on the invoice is abandoned, and that this case 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 represented on tbe invoice by tbe items marked “A” and initialed “GRG” by Examiner G. R. Gulick, and that such values are tbe invoiced unit prices, packed.

In all other respects and as to all other merchandise, tbe appeal having been abandoned, it is hereby dismissed.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
