*846OPINION.
Leech :The parties are in agreement that the issue is determined by the answer to the question as to whether the sales of property set out in the findings were made within the United States under the provisions of section 119 (e) of the Revenue Act of 1936.1 It is not disputed that this property was produced wholly without the United States. Respondent admits that with respect to orders specified in paragraph (2) (b) of the stipulation above the sales were made in Canada.
Respondent contends that, although the property was produced without the United States and was sold and delivered to foreign cus-*847Comers, the orders for the merchandise having been received and accepted in the United States, the sale must be considered as taking place there and not in Canada, notwithstanding the fact that the goods for which the order had been accepted were not yet manufactured. He argues that the place where title passed to the purchaser is not determinative of the place of sale, but is merely incidental.
We do not agree. We have consistently held that the word “sale” as used in section 119 (e), supra, must be considered as having its usual and customary meaning and that the place of sale is where the title to the personal property passes to the purchaser. In East Coast Oil Co., S. A., 31 B. T. A. 558; affd., 85 Fed. (2d) .22, we held that, under contracts executed in this country, sales to purchasers in this country, of oil to be produced or purchased in Mexico by the seller, although payment was to be made therefor in the United States, were sales occurring in Mexico since the contracts provided for delivery to the purchasers in Mexico or c. i. f. ports in the United States on shipments from Mexico by common carrier. In that case we said:
Bespondent points also to the fact that the contracts and the payments under them were made in this country, urging that here was the place of sale. Of course, the place of contract, the place of delivery and of payment, the terms of the agreement, and extraneous circumstances may each have a bearing. But the ultimate goal of the examination of all such considerations is to ascertain when and where the title to the goods passes from the seller to the buyer. It is then and there a sale is consummated — -when and where property in the goods passes, when and where the incidents of ownership vest in the vendee. Such is the rule, long and firmly established.
In its opinion affirming the decision of the Board in this case the Circuit Court said:
* * * No profit resulted from the mere execution of the contracts. The oil was delivered to the buyer in Mexico. The title passed to the buyer in Mexico. When title passed the profit was earned in Mexico. Collection of the price in the United States was incidental and did not earn profit.
In our recent decision in Ronrico Corporation, 44 B. T. A. 1130, we reaffirmed this rule in holding that, under contracts executed in the United States by a Puerto Bican corporation for the sale of rum produced in Puerto Bico and to be shipped to purchasers in the United States, the sales occurred in Puerto Bico, where the contracts provided for delivery to the purchaser under bills of lading vesting title in him at point of shipment in Puerto Rico. See also Hazleton Corporation, 36 B. T. A. 908, and Elston Co., Ltd., 42 B. T. A. 208.
Bespondent contends that the present question is* new and not controlled by our decisions in the cited cases because those involve foreign corporations, whereas the petitioner here is a domestic corporation. Bespondent points to no reason nor is any apparent to *848us 'why, in two identically similar transactions under contracts entered into at the same place for goods to be produced in a foreign country, a sale would immediately be effected if the party agreeing to sell was of foreign citizenship but would be delayed until actual transfer of title to the goods where such party was a citizen of the country in which the contract was executed. We think the issue is controlled by our decisions in the cited cases.
