It was further stipulated and agreed that there was no higher foreign value for such or similar merchandise.

Upon the agreed facts, I find and hold that export value, as such value is defined in section 402(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1402(d)), is the proper basis for determining the value of the tachometers, tachoscopes, and cases therefor, covered by the remand of protests enumerated in the schedule, attached to and made part of the decision herein, and that such value is as tabulated, supra.

I further find and hold that such values are the proper dutiable values of such merchandise.

As to all other merchandise, the remand is dismissed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
