   Kincheloe, Judge:

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

It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the attorneys for the parties hereto, that the appeals to reappraisement set forth in schedule A, which schedule is made a part of this stipulation, cover decalcomanias which were exported from Germany, and that the merchandise and the issues involved in the reappraisements set forth in schedule A are the same in all material respects as the merchandise and issues involved in United States v. R. Gaertner & Co., Inc., et al., Reap. Dec. 5727; that the merchandise covered by the appeals to reappraisement set forth in schedule A was at the time of exportation thereof, sold and freely offered for sale in Germany to all purchasers in the ordinary course of trade, packed ready for shipment, in the usual wholesale quantities, in the principal markets of Germany, for exportation to the United States, at the values at which said decal-comanias were entered, less any additions made by the importer because of advances made by the appraiser in similar cases then pending on appeal to reappraisement.
It is further stipulated and agreed that the record in Reap. Dec. 5727 be incorporated herein; and the said reappraisement appeals are hereby submitted upon this stipulation.

On tbe agreed facts I find tbe export value, as tbat 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 tbat sucb values are tbe entered values, less any additions made by the importer because of advances made by tbe appraiser in similar cases then pending on appeal to reappraisement.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
