Opinion:
Keefe, 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 and agreed, subject to the approval of the court, that the merchandise consisting of ehinaware (whether dutiable under paragraph 212 of the Tariff Act of 1930 or otherwise) and the issues in the appeals for reappraisement listed in the attached schedule are the samé in all material respects as the merchandise and issues decided in United States v. William S. Pitcairn Corp., Suit No. 4513, C. A. D. 334, and that the record in said case may be incorporated herein.
It is further stipulated and agreed that the appraised value of the merchandise consisting of chinaware (whether dutiable under paragraph 212 of the Tariff Act of 1930 or otherwise) 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 is freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, for exportation to the United States, and that the foreign value of such or similar merchandise is no higher.
It is further stipulated and agreed that these cases may be submitted on the foregoing stipulation.
On tbe agreed facts I find tbe export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of tbe Tariff Act of 1930, to be tbe proper basis for the determination of tbe value of the chinaware here involved (whether dutiable under paragraph 212 of the Tariff Act of 1930 or otherwise), and that such values are the appraised values, less the additions made by the importer on entry because of advances by the appraiser in similar cases. Insofar as the appeals relate to all other merchandise they are hereby dismissed.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
