James Loudon & Co. et al. v. United States
    No. 8091.
    Entry No. 4685, etc.
    (Decided February 19, 1952)
    
      Lawrence, Tuttle & Harper (George B. Tuttle of counsel) for the plaintiffs.
    
      Charles J. Wagner, Acting Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
   OliveR, Chief 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 as follows between counsel for plaintiffs and the Assistant Attorney General for the United States, concerning the merchandise referred to herein:
1) That the market value or the price, at the time of exportation to the United States of the merchandise covered by these appeals to reappraisement, enumerated on attached schedule, 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, plus 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, was the appraised value less the amount added to meet advances made by the appraiser in similar cases and that there is no higher foreign value.
2) That these appeals to reappraisement be submitted on this stipulation.

On the agreed facts I find the export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that such values were the appraised values, less the amounts added to-meet advances made by the appraiser in similar cases.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
