Tilson, Judge:
The appeals fisted in schedule A, hereto attached and made a part hereof, were filed under the provisions of section 501 of the Tariff Act of 1930. In entering the merchandise the importer made certain additions under duress to meet advances made by the appraiser in similar cases then pending on appeal to reappraisement.
These appeals have been submitted for decision upon a stipulation to the effect that the price, or market value, at the dates of exportation of the instant merchandise, at which such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of China, for export to the United States, in usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, including all costs, charges, and expenses specified in section 402 (d) of said act, are the appraised values, less any amount added under duress.
On the agreed facts I find and hold the proper dutiable export values of the merchandise covered by said appeals to be the values found by the appraiser, less any additions made under duress. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
