Accepting this stipulation as a statement of facts, I find that the involved merchandise, marked “A” and initialed WDS on the in*392voices by Examiner William D. Slyne, is not listed on the final list oí articles published in T.D. 54521, effective February 27, 1958, and that export value, as that value is defined in section 402(b) of the-Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, T.D. 54165, and T.D. 54521, effective February 27, 1958, is-the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise here involved, and I find and hold that such statutory value is $0,575-per yard, net, packed.
