W. X. Huber Co. v. United States

The appeals for reappraisement listed in schedule “A,” hereto attached and made a part hereof, have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court,

(1) That the merchandise involved in the appeals listed in the attached schedule consists of rayon articles, made of rayon which in all material respects is such or similar to the rayon in the articles the subject of decision in United States v. Nippon Dry Goods Co., Reap. Dec. 5006, affirming Reap. Dec. 4704; and that the issue herein and conditions as to the market value are the same as the issue and Conditions as to market value in the cited cases, and the record in said eases is hereby incorporated herein.

(2) That the appraised values of the rayon articles covered by these appeals, less any additions made by the importer by reason of the so-called Japanese consumption tax,, to meet advances made by the Appraiser in similar cases, represent the prices 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, and represent the export values of such merchandise and that there were no higher foreign values at the time of exportation thereof.

(3) That the appeals herein are abandoned as to all merchandise except the rayon articles.

(4) That this stipulation may be filed and made a part of the record herein, and the case continued, subject to further disposition.

It is further affirmed by the undersigned Philip Stein, counsel for the plaintiff, that he has personally examined each of these appeals, and of liis own knowledge, certifies that they have been duly signed and filed within the statutory time.

*257On the agreed facts I find that the export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, is the proper basis for the determination of the value of the rayon articles involved herein, and that such values are the appraised values, less any additions made by the importer by reason of the so-called Japanese consumption tax, to meet advances made by the appraiser in similar cases.

The appeals as to all other articles having been formally abandoned are hereby dismissed.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
