International Forwarding Co. v. United States

11 Cust. Ct. 337, 1943 Cust. Ct. LEXIS 3696

Opinion

Tilson, Judge:

In this appeal counsel for the respective parties have agreed that the market value or price at or about the date of exportation of the involved merchandise, at which such or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of China for export to the United States, in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, including all costs, charges, and expenses specified in section 402 (d) of the act of 1930, is the value found by the appraiser, less any amount added under duress.

Accepting this stipulation as a statement of fact, I find and hold the proper dutiable export value of the merchandise covered by this appeal to be the value found by the appraiser, less any amount added under duress. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
