That the proper basis of appraisal of the merchandise herein is the export value. That there was no higher foreign value for the merchandise herein at the time of exportation.

That the record in The United States v. Arkell Safety Bag Co. Reappraisement Decision No. 4670 may be incorporated into the record in these cases and that the reappraisement appeals may be submitted for decision upon this stipulation and the respective records.

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 are as follows:
