C. Alfano on the invoice covered by the protest enumerated above, assessed with duty at 10% per centum ad valorem under the provisions of Item 439.50 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States consist of ferrous sulphate U.S.P.; that such merchandise is a sulphate iron compound and as such provided for in Item 418.92 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States; that such compounds are free of duty.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that the protest be submitted on this stipulation, the protest being limited to the items marked “A” as aforesaid.

Accepting this stipulation as a statement of fact, we hold the merchandise marked with the letter “A” and initialed E.C.A. by Import Specialist E. C.
