Manca, Inc. v. United States

Oliver, Chief Judge:

This matter is before me on remand from classification proceedings decided by the first division of this court in *634Manca, Inc. v. United States, 39 Cust. Cfc. 342, Abstract 60977. The conclusion therein, and the judgment issued pursuant thereto, was to the effect that the protest had been prematurely filed and the matter was remanded to a single judge in reappraisement to determine the proper dutiable values in the manner provided by law. (28 U. S. C. § 2636 (d).)

A stipulation of submission, upon which the matter is now before me, establishes export value, as defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for appraisement of the microscopes and wooden cases in question, and that such statutory value, which I hold to be the proper dutiable value for each class of articles, is as follows:

Invoice U. S.
price Less dollars Merchandise each discount per each
8 Ortholux Microscopes EEVIB. $634. 88 25% $476. 16
8 wooden cases_ 19. 20 25% 14.40

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
