    Before Bao and Foed, Judges
   Ford, Judge:

Tbe case listed above bas been submitted for decision upon a written stipulation entered into 'by and between counsel for the respective parties which reads as follows:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the plaintiff and the Assistant Attorney General for the United States:

That the items marked “A”, and checked JB ('Comm. Spec’s initials) by Commodity Specialist J. Bistreich (Comm. Spec’s name) on the invoices covered by the 'above enumerated protest, and assessed with duty at 19 per centum ad valorem under the provisions of item 680.50, TSUS, consist of lamp pulleys which are claimed dutiable at 10.5 per centum ad valorem within item 664.10, TSUS, as elevators, hoists, winches, jacks, cranes, pulley tackle, belt conveyors and other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, not provided for in item 664.05.

That said lamp pulleys are not, in fact, pulleys, pillow blocks, slia-ft couplings, or parts thereof, but are, in fact, lifting machinery.

That the protest enumerated above be deemed submitted on this stipulation, the protest being limited to the items marked with the letter “A”, as aforesaid, and abandoned as to all other items.

Plaintiff having abandoned the protests as to all other merchandise, they are hereby dismissed. Accepting the foregoing stipulation, we find that plaintiff has complied with section 514, Tariff Act of 1930, and the merchandise marked “A” and initialed JB on the invoices by Commodity Specialist J. Bistreich consists of lifting machinery. Therefore, the claim in the protest that said merchandise is properly dutiable at 10.5 per centum ad valorem under item 664.10, Tariff Schedules of the United States, is sustained.

Judgment will be entered accordingly.
