(1) That the merchandise involved in the appeal listed in the attached schedule consists of rayon articles, made of rayon which in all material resp.ects is such or similar to the rayon in the articles the subject of decision in United States v. Nippon Dry Goods Co., Reap. Dec. 5006, affirming Reap. Dec. 4704; and that the issue herein and conditions as to the market value are the same as the issue and conditions as to market value in the cited cases, and the record in said cases is hereby incorporated herein.
(2) That the appraised values of the rayon articles covered by this appeal, less any additions made by the importer by reason of the so-called Japanese consumption tax, to meet prices at the time of exportation of such merchandise to the United States 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 quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, for exportation to the United States, represent the export values of such merchandise and that there were no higher foreign values at the time of exportation thereof.

On tbe ¡agreed facts I find the export value, as that value is defined in section ¡402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that as' to the rayon articles such values are the appraised values, less any additions made by the importer by reason of the so-called Japanese consumption tax.

The appeal having been abandoned insofar as it relates to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeal is hereby dismissed.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
