WxlsoN, 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 STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the respective parties hereto] subject to the approval of the Court, that the export value of all merchandise with the exception of chip roping and florists’ pins at the time of exportation to the United States covered by the Appeals to Reappraisement enumerated on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof at which time such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal market of the country from which exported in the usual wholesale quantity and in the ordinary course of trade for export to the United States including costs of containers and coverings of whatever nature and all other costs, charges and expenses incident to placing the merchandise ready for shipment to the United States was the appraised unit values less nondutiable charges in the amounts as set forth on the respective invoices covering inland freight, insurance, storage, hauling and lighterage.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that there was no higher domestic value for merchandise such or similar to the merchandise herein at the time of exportation thereof.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Appeals to Re-appraisement enumerated on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof be submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.
On the 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, except the chip roping and florists’ pins, and that such values were the appraised unit values, less nondutiable charges in the amounts, as set forth on the respective invoices, covering inland freight, insurance, storage, hauling, and lighterage.
Insofar as the appeals relate to chip roping and florists’ pins, they are hereby dismissed.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
