Opinion:
Oliver, Judge:
The following appeal for reappraisement is before me for decision on a written stipulation, reading as follows:
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties hereto subject to the approval of the court, as follows:
1. That the involved merchandise, consisting of costume jewelry from Japan, was entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption after the effective date of the Customs Simplification Act of 1956 (T.D. 54165), and is not identified on the final list published by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant thereto (T.D. 54165).
2. That on or about the date of exportation, the prices at which such or similar merchandise was freely sold or offered for sale in the principal markets of the country of exportation in the usual wholesale quantities 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 expenses incidental to placing tlie merchandise in condition packed ready for shipment to the United States, were as follows:
Item No. Unit value — Japanese yen
31141/1 56.10 each
31141/2 80.30 each
31141/3 107. 50 each
31141/4 133. 50 each
31141/5 45.00 each
31141/6 56.10 each
31141/7 45. 00 each
31141/9 45. 50 each
31141/10 31. 00 pair
31141/11 33.40 pair
31141/12 29. 30 pair
31141/13 12. 00 pair
31141/14 14. 00 pair
31141/15 21.00 pair
31141/16 47.50 each
• — plus, with regard to Items 31141/6, 31141/7, 31141/10, 31141/11 and 31141/12, the pro rata portion of the cost of material supplied to the seller, as appraised ($773.90).
3. That this appeal may be submitted on this stipulation, the same being limited to the merchandise and the issues described hereinabove and abandoned in all other respects.
On the agreed facts, I find that the proper basis for appraisement of the merchandise in question, as hereinabove identified, is export value, as defined in section 402 (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956 (T.D. 54165), and that such statutory value therefor is as hereinabove set forth in the stipulation of submission.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
