These appeals for reappraisement have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto: •
It is hereby stipulated by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the court, that the facts and circumstances relating to the item of 10 per centum commission covered by the instant appeals to reap-praisements, identified on the invoices with “A” and the initials DL of Examiner D. Lefkovitz and the initials WRS of Examiner W. R. Shapiro, are in all material respects the same as the facts and circumstances relating to the item of 10 per centum commission specified in the invoices relating to glass tree ornaments, novelties, and figures covered by reappraisements 113038-A, 113040-A, and 113468-A of the P. W. Woolworth Co. and passed upon by the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals in United States v. S. S. Kresge Co., B. Shackman & Co., Rice & Co. Corp., Strauss-Eckardt Co., Inc., F. W. Woolworth Co., 26 C. C. P. A. 349, 352, wherein the court held that “A purchasing commission, charged for the handling of merchandise, is not a proper part of dutiable value.”
It is further .stipulated and agreed that on the dates of exportation of the merchandise involved in the appeals listed above, identified on the invoices with “A” and the initials. DL of Examiner D. Lefkovitz and the initials WRS of Examiner W. R. Shapiro, articles such and similar thereto were freely offered for sale and sold to all purchasers in the principal markets of the country of exportation in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade for exportation to the United States at the per se unit invoice prices, plus 3}í per centum social assessments for insurance, vacation, and holiday costs, plus packing, as invoiced, and that there was no higher foreign value.
As to all other items, the appeals are abandoned.
It is further stipulated and agreed that the record in United States v. S. S. Kresge Co. et al., 26.C. C. P. A. 349, 352, be incorporated herein and that the said appeals to reappraisement are submitted on this 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 represented on the invoices by the items marked “A” and the initials DL and. WRS of Examiners D. Lefkovitz and W. R. Shapiro, and that such values are the per se unit invoice prices, plus 3 % per centum social assessments for insurance, vacation, and holiday costs, plus packing, as invoiced.
The appeals having been abandoned insofar as they relate to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeals are hereby dismissed.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
