Opinion:
McClelland, Presiding Judge:
These appfeals to reappraisement have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto:
It -is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the attorneys for the parties hereto:
That the merchandise covered by the above-entitled reappraisements and marked "A" on the invoice and described as toyo cloth (paper) upper oxford shoes and paper panama lace to toes, and checked "W. Gold" by Examiner William Gold consists of rubber-soled footwear similar in all material respects to the rubber-soled footwear which was the subject of United States v. Japan Import Co., Inc., Reappraisement Decision No. 4568.
That the reappraisements are limited to the items marked "A" and initialed by the examiner and abandoned as to all other merchandise and in all other respects.
That the record in said Reapprai^ement Decision No. 4568 may be incorporated into the record herein and that the above-entitled reappraisements may be submitted on such combined record and this stipulation.
That, under the decision in said Reappraisement Decision No. 4568, the merchandise marked "A" and initialed by the examiner is not like or similar to the domestic shoes upon which the appraiser based his appraisements herein.
That the market values or prices of the merchandise marked "A" and initialed by the examiner at the time of exportation of such merchandise to the United S.tates 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. in condition, packed ready for shipment to the United States, were the entered values thereof.
It is further stipulated and agreed that there was no higher foreign value for the merchandise hereinabove set forth.
In harmony with the .stipulation as to the merchandise marked "A" on the invoices and described as toyo cloth (paper) upper oxford shoes and paper panama lace .to toes, and checked by Examiner William Gold, I find the export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, is the proper basis for the deter- ruination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that such values are the entered values. As to any other merchandise involved, the appeals are dismissed. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
