Not including the value of packing materials used to transport goods in the final sale price of goods is illegal, in the absence of an arrangement to return the same to the seller. The Court, upon perusing letters exchanged between the Assessee and the buyer, held that no arrangement existed between the two as the return of packing material by the buyer was conditional.
