It is further stipulated and agreed that there was no higher export value for such or similar merchandise at the time of exportation of the instant merchandise, and that this case may be submitted on this stipulation.
On the agreed facts I find the foreign value, as that value is defined in section 402 (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that such values are as follows:
34" x 72"'and 36" x 60" Can. $39.69,
48" x 60" and ,48" x 72" Can. 41.90, net per M sq. ft.
48" x 52" Can. 55.13,
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
