IT IS I-IEREBT STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that the merchandise covered by the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Cases, manufactured by Otsubo ICogyo, consists of wall shelves and other wood furniture, and that, at the time of exportation thereof to the United States, the market value or the price 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 quantity 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, were the invoice unit values, net packed.
That all the merchandise covered by the appeals for reappraisement was entered subsequent to February 27,1958.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the appeals for re-appraisement enumerated in the- attached Schedule of Cases may be deemed submitted for a decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts, I find and hold export value, as that value is defined in section 402(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, T.D. 54165, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved and that such values were the invoice unit values, net, packed.
