This appeal for reappraisement has 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 issues in the appeals for reappraisement enumerated above are the same in all material respects as the issues involved in United States v. New York Merchandise Co., Inc., A. R. D. 17, and that the record in said case may be incorporated herein.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the appraised values of the merchandise covered by the invoices subject to the reappraisement herein, less the item of a buying commission of 7%% and/or 10% as noted on the invoices' and deducted on entry, are equal to the price at the time of exportation of the merchandise involved herein at which such or similar merchandise is freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of the country from which exported, in the usual wholesale quantities 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 this case may be submitted on the foregoing stipulation.
On tbe agreed facts I find tbe export value, as tbat value is defined in section 402 (d) of tbe Tariff Act of 1930, to be tbe proper basis for tbe determination of tbe value of tbe merchandise bere involved, and tbat sucb values were the appraised values, less tbe item of a buying commission of 7% per centum and/or 10 per centum as noted on tbe invoices and deducted on entry.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
