Opinion

Beckworth, Judge:

This appeal for reappraisement is before me on the following stipulation of counsel for the respective parties:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, that the merchandise marked “V” covered by the appeal for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Cases consists of plywood, other than birch plywood, exported from the Philippines; and that, at the time of exportation to the United States, the market value or the price 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 quantity and in the ordinary course of trade, for exportation to the United [599]*599States, 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, was the unit values as appraised, less 8%, net packed.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the merchandise covered by the appeal for reappraisement, enumerated in the attached Schedule of Cases, to wit, plywood other than birch plywood, is not included in the list of articles designated by the Secretary of the Treasury in T.D. 54521, as provided for in Sec. 6(a) of the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, Public Law 927, 84th Congress, and that said merchandise is subject to appraisement under Sec. 402 of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Appeal 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 and hold that export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, 70 Stat. 943, is the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise marked ikV” consisting of plywood, other than birch plywood, and that said value is represented by the unit appraised values, less 8 percent, net, packed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
