      James Wilson Young for the plaintiff.

   Mollison, Judge:

Counsel for the parties have stipulated and agreed as follows:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the respective parties hereto that the merchandise involved in this appeal for reappraisement, consists of birch plywood exported from Finland on October 27, 1956 and that the merchandise is properly valued on the basis of foreign value as defined in Section 402(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the value or the price 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 home consumption including cost of containers and coverings of whatever nature and all other costs, charges and expenses incident to placing the merchandise ready for shipment to the United States was, the appraised value, less 4% packed.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that this appeal for re-appraisement may be submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts, I find that foreign value, as defined in section 402(c), as amended, of the Tariff Act of 1930, is the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise involved in the above-entitled appeal for reappraisement, and that such value is the appraised value, less 4 per centum, packed.

Judgment will issue accordingly.
