    Plywood & Door Manufacturers Corporation v. United States
    Entry No. 660, etc.
    (Decided July 8, 1963)
    
      Richard, Van Steenburgh for the plaintiff.
    
      John W. Douglas, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
   Oliver, Chief Judge:

The appeals for reappraisement enumerated in schedule “A,” hereto attached and made a part hereof, have been submitted for decision on a written stipulation, reading as follows:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the respective parties hereto that the merchandise involved in the appeals for reappraisement enumerated in Schedule “A”, attached hereto and made part hereof, consists of birch plywood exported from Finland in the years 1953 and 1954, and that the merchandise described in Schedule “A” is properly valued on the basis of Export Value, as defined in Section 402(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the merchandise and the issues involved in the above designated appeals for reappraisement are the same in all material respects as those involved in United States v. Plywood & Door Manufacturers Corporation A.R.D. No. 133, and that the record in the cited case may be incorporated in the record herein.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the value or the price of the merchandise described in Schedule “A”, hereto annexed, 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, including the cost of all 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 value set forth in column “4”, packed, less the pro rated amounts of the nondutiable charges set forth directly after the description of the merchandise in each said reappraisement ease set forth in Schedule “A”.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that this stipulation applies only to birch plywood. The price of all merchandise other than birch plywood appearing on any of the entries herein such as doors, blockboard, hardboard, bedboards, etc., or classified as doors, blockboard, hardboard, bedboards, etc., is to remain as appraised.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the appeals for reap-praisement enumerated on Schedule “A”, annexed hereto, and made part hereof, may be submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts and consistent with the cited decision on the law, I find that the proper basis for appraisement of the birch plywood in question is export value, as defined in section 402(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, and hold that such statutory value therefor is the values set forth in column “4” of said schedule “A,” packed, less the prorated amounts of the nondurable charges set forth directly after the description of the merchandise in each of the reappraisement cases set forth in said schedule “A.”

As to all other merchandise, except birch plywood, exported from Finland in the years 1953 and 1954, included in the shipments covered by the entries involved herein, the appraised values are affirmed.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
