Upon the agreed facts, I find the export value of the involved merchandise to which this appeal relates, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930 to be the proper basis for determining the value of said merchandise, and that such value is rupees 46/3/2 per 100 bags, packed, less % rupee per bale shipping charges.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
