It is stipulated and agreed by the undersigned, subject to the approval of the Court, that at the time of exportation of the involved barometer and field glasses, such or similar merchandise was being 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, as follows:

It is further stipulated and agreed that there was no higher foreign value, as defined in Section 402 (c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, for merchandise such or similar to that involved herein, at the time of exportation thereof.
It is further stipulated and agreed that this case may be submitted for decision on the foregoing stipulation.

On the agreed facts I find the export value, as that value is defined in section 402 (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and that such values were as follows:
