Before Judge Wilson,
February 27, 1968
No. R68/19.
reappraisement R67/17640 (Seattle).
Lollytogs, Ltd. v. United States,
[MAJORITY]
In accordance with stipulation of counsel that the merchandise and issues involved herein are the same in all material respects as those in Lollytogs, Ltd. v. United States (55 Cust. Ct. 608, Reap. Dec. 11073), the court found and held that the 4% percent invoiced purchasing commission of the Swedish Trading Co., Ltd., was a Iona fide buying commission which formed no part of the value of the involved children’s wearing apparel and that export value as defined in section 402(b), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, is the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise and that such values are the invoice unit values, f .o.b. Hong Kong, exclusive of any additional charges or commissions.
