Wilson, Judge:

These appeals for 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 counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, as to the merchandise marked “V” and initialed FH by Franklin Hennigan on the invoices accompanying the entries covered by the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Oases, which is incorporated herein, that, on the dates of exportation thereof to the United States, the market values or the prices 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 ex factory invoiced unit values, net packed.
That all the merchandise covered by all of the appeals for reappraisement the subject of this stipulation was entered subsequent to February 27, 1958.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that as to any of the merchandise on the invoices covered by the entries the subject of the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Gases which is included in the list of articles designated by the Secretary of the Treasury in T.D. 54521, 93 Cust. Ct. [sic] 14, issued January 20, 1958 as provided for in Sec. 6(a) of the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, Public Law 927, 84th Congress that there were no higher foreign values for such or similar merchandise on the dates of exportation involved herein.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Cases may be deemed submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts, I find export value, as that value is defined in section 402a (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Administrative Act of 1956, T.D. 54165, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved and that such value for the merchandise covered by the *475involved appeals was in each, case the ex-factory invoiced unit value, net, packed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
