Opinion:
Oliver, Chief 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 HEREl^ STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that the appraised values of the merchandise involved in each of the cases enumerated in the attached schedule, less the additions made by the importer on entry because of advances by the appraiser in similar cases, is equal to the price, at the time 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 was no higher foreign value for such or similar merchandise.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that-the cases may be submitted on the foregoing stipulation.
Ou tbe 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 appraised values, less the additions made by the importers on entry because of advances by the appraiser in similar cases.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
