.Accepting this stipulation as a statement of fact, I find and bold tbe proper dutiable foreign value of all tbe merchandise described on tbe invoices as “silk squares,” “silk tie material,” “printed gum twill,” and “all silk tie material,” to be tbe appraised .value, less any amount added under duress, and that there was no higher export value for said merchandise. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
