Mr. Welsh: The Government agrees and so stipulates, and the Government’s concession is based upon the advice and the consent of the appraiser, Mr. Bower, who is present in court.
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, and that such value is 46 centavos Mexican money per meter, plus taxes, - packing and containers, as invoiced.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
