D. Hauser, Inc. v. United States

39 Cust. Ct. 573

Opinion

Wilson, Judge:

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

IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that the export value of the merchandise covered by Consular Invoice #5233 at the time of exportation to the United States covered by the Appeal to Reappraisement enumerated above at which time such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal market of the country from which exported in the usual wholesale quantity and in the ordinary course of trade for export to the United States including costs of containers and coverings of whatever nature and all other costs, charges and expenses incident to placing the merchandise ready for shipment to the United States was the invoice unit values plus cost of packing plus 2% and that the export value, as it applies to merchandise covered by Consular Invoice #5220, was the invoice unit values plus 2%.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that there was no higher domestic value for merchandise such or similar to the merchandise herein at the time of exportation thereof.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Appeal to Re-appraisement enumerated above may be submitted for decision on the foregoing 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 here involved, and that such values were as follows:

As to the merchandise covered by consular invoice 5233, the invoice unit values, plus cost of packing, plus 2 per centum.

As to the merchandise covered by consular invoice 5220, the invoice unit values, plus 2 per centum.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
