IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that there was no higher-foreign value for such merchandise at the time of exportation thereof.

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 merhcandise here involved, and that such value was the appraised value for each item of merchandise, less 10 per centum.
