Counsel for the respective parties have submitted this appeal for reappraisement on a written stipulation, reading as follows:
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the parties hereto that the merchandise consists of seamless steel tubing and seamless steel casing, exported from Italy, and that the facts and the law are similar in all material respects to the merchandise the subject of United States v.
