Opinion:
Eicwall, Judge;
These appeals for reappraisement have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto;
IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED that
1. The merchandise covered by the appeals for reappraisement listed in Schedule A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, consists of chocolate bars and other chocolate articles exported from Holland, the same in all material respects as those in Bluefries New York, Inc. v. United States, Reap. Dec. 8470, wherein it was held that cost of production as defined in Sec. 402 (f), Tariff Act of 1930, was the proper basis of value.
2. The record in said Reap. Dee. 8470 may be incorporated herein.
3. At the time of exportation of the merchandise involved in the appeals for reappraisement listed in said Schedule A, there was no foreign value or export value or United States value for such or similar merchandise as defined in Sec. 402, Tariff Act of 1930 as amended, and the cost of production is therefore the proper basis of value,
4. The cost of production, as defined in Sec. 402 (f), (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the Tariff Act of 1930, for the chocolate bars and other chocolate articles listed in Schedule B, attached hereto and made a part hereof, is as set forth in said Schedule B.
5. The appeals for reappraisement listed in said Schedule A are submitted on this stipulation and are limited to the items set forth in said Schedule B, and abandoned as to all other items.
On the agreed facts, I find the cost of production, as that value is defined in section 402 (f) 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 values were as set forth in schedule "B," hereto attached and made a part hereof.
The appeals having been abandoned insofar as they relate to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeals are hereby dismissed.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
