In accordance with stipulation of counsel the merchandise represented by the items marked with the letter “A” on the invoices was held free of duty under paragraph 1705 as kelp, and that represented by the items marked with the letter “B” on the invoices was held dutiable at 10 percent under paragraph 1540 as seaweeds, manufactured. The protests were sustained to this extent.
