Durable Floor & Tile Co. (Norton & Ellis, Inc.) v. United States

(Reap. Dec. 10730) Durable Floor & Tile Co. (Norton & Ellis, Inc.) v. United States Entry No. 5307. (Decided April 28, 1964) Sharp & Bogan for the plaintiff. John W. Douglas, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant. [MAJORITY — Oliver, Chief Judge:] Oliver, Chief Judge: This appeal for reappraisement has been limited, under the terms of a stipulation of submission, to certain hardboard, manufactured in France and exported to the United States by the Societe Francaise pour le Commerce Exterieur de Pan-neaux (EXPANO), and which is “described on the invoices as Iso-gil hardboard D-3.” As to all other merchandise included on the invoice covered by the entry involved herein, the appeal for reap-praisement has been abandoned. Stipulated facts, upon which the case is before me, establish that the proper basis for appraisement of the merchandise in question, as hereinabove identified, is foreign value, as defined in section 402a (c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and that such statutory value therefor is 3.31 nouveau francs per square meter, less 31 per centum, less 1 per centum, less iy2 per centum, less 20 per centum, plus packing. As to all other merchandise included on the invoice covered by the entry involved herein, the appeal for reappraisement is dismissed. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
