Walkeh, 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 by and between counsel for the plaintiffs and the Assistant Attorney General for the United States, subject to the approval of the •court:
(1) That the merchandise covered by- the reappraisement appeals listed on the attached schedule A consists of cut diamonds exported from Belgium; that the unit values stated in the invoices, without the addition of buying commission, represent the prices at the various dates of exportation of such merchandise to the United States, 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 quantities and in the ordinary course of trade for exportation to the United States, and that there were no higher foreign market values at the •dates of exportation thereof.
(2) It is further stipulated that the merchandise and the issue covered by the appeals listed on the attached schedule are the same in all material respects as the merchandise and the issue, the subject of the decision in Reappraisement Appeal 134305-A, etc., of J. Seiler, Inc. v. United States, Reap. Dec. 5699.
(3) It is further stipulated that the record in said case of J. Seiler, Inc., Reap. Dec. 5699, may be incorporated in the record in these cases, and that they be deemed 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 are the unit values stated in the invoices.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
