Opinion:
Johnson, Judge:
These appeals for reappraisement have been submitted for decision upon tbe following stipulation of counsel for tbe parties hereto:
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, subject to the approval of the Court, that the issues in the Appeals to Reappraisement noted above are the same in all material respects as the issues decided in United States v. William Shaland, A. R. D. 12, and that the record in said case may be incorporated herein.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the appraised value of the merchandise covered by the invoices embraced in the entries in these re-appraisements, less the item for local freight, 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 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 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 tbe determination of tbe value of tbe merchandise bere involved, and that sucb value was in each instance tbe appraised value, less tbe item for local freight.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
