It is hereby stipulated and agreed, by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the court:
(1) That as to the merchandise involved herein, represented on the invoice by the items marked “A” and initialed by examiner GRG G. R.

(2) That at the time of exportation there was no higher foreign value for this merchandise and that the appraisement made under authority of the Presidential proclamation published iü TD 46158 was not applicable to said merchandise, based upon the decisions in RD 4444 and 4570.
(3) That the appeal as to all other merchandise not marked with the letter “A” as stated above and contained on the invoice is abandoned, and that this case may be submitted 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, and that as to the merchandise represented on the invoice by the items marked A and initialed by examiner GRG, G.

The appeal having been abandoned insofar as it relates to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeal is hereby dismissed. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
