At this time I offer to stipulate with Government counsel that the merchandise covered by the invoice herein was entered or withdrawn from customs warehouse for consumption after the effective date of the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, and was therefore appraised under Section 402(h) of the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, Public Law 927, 84th Congress, Second Session, said merchandise not being identified in the final list published in T.D. 54521.
I further offer to stipulate with Government counsel that, as to the merchandise on the invoice herein at the time of exportation to the United States, the prices at which such or similar merchandise was freely sold, or in the absence of sales offered for sale in the principal markets of Japan, in the usual wholesale quantities, and in the usual course of trade for exportation to the United [548]*548States, were the invoice unit values shown on the invoice, plus the packing charges marked “X” in red ink.
