IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the value or the price of the merchandise described in Schedule “A” hereto annexed, at the time of exportation of such merchandise to the United States at which such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of the country from which exported, in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, for exportation to the United States, including the cost of all 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 values set forth in Column “4” of Schedule “A,” packed, less the pro rated amounts of the non-dutiable charges set forth directly after the description of the merchandise in said reappraisement case set forth in Schedule “A”.
On tbe agreed facts and following the cited decision on the law, I find that the proper basis for appraisement of the birch plywood in question is export value, as defined in section 402(d) of the Tariff Act of 1980, and hold that such statutory value therefor is the values set forth in column “4” of schedule “A,” hereto attached and made a part hereof, “packed, less the pro rated amounts of the non-dutiable charges set forth directly after the description of the merchandise in said reappraisement case set forth in schedule ‘A.’ ”
