The proper value for dutiable purposes of certain electrical machines and equipment covered by the appeals for a reap-praisement enumerated in schedule “A,” attached hereto and made a part hereof, is before the court for determination.

The parties hereto have entered into a stipulation of fact wherein it has been agreed as follows:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, as to the merchandise covered by the entries the subject of the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule of Cases, which is incorporated herein:

1. That on the dates of exportation thereof to the United States, the market value or the price at which such or similar merchandise was freely sold or in the absence of sales 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 Lhnited States, including the cost of all containers and coverings of whatever nature and all other costs, charges and expenses incident to placing tlie merchandise in condition packed ready for shipment to the United States, were the f.o.b. invoice unit values, net packed, but not including the commissions set forth on the invoices.

2. That the merchandise the subject of the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in the attached Schedule is not identified in the Final List published by the Secretary of the Treasury in T.D. 54521, pursuant to the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, T.D. 54721 [sic], effective February 27,1958.

3. That all the merchandise covered by the appeals for reappraisement was entered for consumption subsequent to February 27,1958.

4. That these appeals for reappraisement may be deemed submitted for decision on this stipulation.

Upon the record before the court, I find and hold that export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (b), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, 91 Treas. Dec. 295, T.D. 54165, is the proper basis of value for the electrical machines and equipment in issue and that said value is the invoice unit value, less commissions set forth on the invoices.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
