J. E. Bebnard & Co. v. United States

Wilson, Judge:

This appeal for reappraisement has been submitted for decision upon the foEowing stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto:

*601IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the plaintiff and the Assistant Attorney General for the United States concerning the merchandise referred to in the attached Schedule A, as follows:

1. Said merchandise consists of binoculars and leather carrying eases which, in John P. Herher & Co. Inc. v. United States, C. D. 1519, this Court held to be subject to appraisement separately according to the value of each class of articles.
2. At the time of exportation of such merchandise to the United States, the price 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 in the ordinary course of trade for exportation to the United States, is the unit price as shown in the attached Schedule A, in United States currency, less the deductions from said unit price as invoiced, cases and packing as shown in said Schedule A, the foreign value of such or similar merchandise being no higher.
3. The above reappraisement is abandoned as to all entries and merchandise not listed in the attached Schedule A, and said reappraisement may be deemed to be submitted for decision upon 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 binoculars and leather carrying cases here involved, and that such values were as follows:

Insofar as the appeal relates to all other merchandise, it is hereby dismissed.
