That on the dates of exportations of said merchandise to the United States, the prices at the time of exportation at which similar merchandise was freely sold, or in the absence of sales, 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 the merchandise in condition packed ready for shipment to the United States were as follows:

Mbs. Ziff : So agree.
On the agreed facts, I find and hold export value, as that value is defined in section 402(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, T.D. 54165, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here in question and that such values for the involved items were as follows:
Item 7959-1,14 shillings, 7% pence.
Item 7959-2,15 shillings, 4% pence.
Item 7959-3,15 shillings, 4% pence.
