(Reap. Dec. 9677)
    Fed. Tele. & Radio Co. v. United States
    Entry No. 879347.
    (Decided April 19, 1960)
    
      Barnes, Richardson £ Colburn for the plaintiff.
    
      George Cochran Doub, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
   Lawrence, Judge:

The above-enumerated appeal for a reappraisement presents the question of the proper dutiable value of certain telephone apparatus exported from Belgium.

By stipulation of the parties hereto, it has been agreed that, on or about the date of exportation, such or similar merchandise was not freely offered for sale in Belgium either for home consumption or for export to the United States. It was further stipulated and agreed that, on or about that date, such or similar imported merchandise was not freely offered for sale for domestic consumption in the United States, and that the cost of production of said merchandise, as defined in section 402(f) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1402(f)), is the invoice unit values, less 1.11 per centum.

Upon the agreed facts, I find and hold that cost of production, as that value is defined in section 402(f), supra, is the proper basis of value for the telephone apparatus in issue and that said value is the invoice unit values, less 1.11 per centum.

As to any other merchandise, the appeal is dismissed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
