Opinion

Mollison, Judge:

The appeals for reappraisement listed in schedule “A,” hereto attached and made a part hereof, have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto:

IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that at the time of exportation of the merchandise embraced in the entries covered by the Appeals to Reappraisement noted above, there was no foreign value, export value or United States value, as defined in Section 402 (c) (d) (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, for such or similar merchandise;

That cost of production is the proper basis of value;

That the cost of production of said merchandise as defined in Section 402 (f) is equivalent to the invoice unit values, packed, and that there was no higher value;

That the appeals to reappraisement herein may be submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts I find the cost of production, as that value is defined in section 402 (f) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that such values were the invoice unit values, packed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
