    International Standard Trading Corp. v. United States
    Entry Nos. 712994; 724511.
    (Decided May 10, 1960)
    
      Barnes, Richardson & Colburn for the plaintiff.
    
      George Cochran Eoub, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
   Lawrence, Judge:

Tbe proper dutiable value of certain telephone equipment exported from Belgium covered by the above-enumerated appeals for a reappraisement is before the court for determination.

By stipulation of the parties hereto, it has been agreed that, on or about the date of exportation, such or similar merchandise was not freely offered for sale in Belgium either for home consumption or for export to the United States. It was further stipulated and agreed that, on or about that date, such or similar imported merchandise was not freely offered for sale for domestic consumption in the United States and that the cost of production of said merchandise, as defined in section 402 (f) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1402 (f)), is the invoice unit values, less items marked “A” on the invoices, plus 2.91 per centum.

Upon the agreed facts, I find and hold that cost of production, as that value is defined in section 402 (f), supra, is the proper basis of value for the telephone equipment in issue and that said value is the invoice unit values, less items marked “A” on the invoices, plus 2.91 per centum.

As to any other merchandise, the appeals are dismissed.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
