Shalom v. United States

60 Cust. Ct. 1059, 1968 Cust. Ct. LEXIS 2917

Opinion

In accordance with stipulation of counsel that the issues and relevant facts are the same in all material respects as those in Shalom Baby-Wear, Inc. v. United States (54 Cust. Ct. 526, Reap. Dec. 10905), the court found and held that export value, as that value is defined in section 402(b), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, is the proper basis for the determination of value for the various articles of cotton wearing apparel (including T shirts and parkas) in issue and that such value is the appraised unit value, net packed, less the buying commission paid to Esses & Co. of Hong Kong, as stated on the invoices.
