2) At the time of exportation neither a foreign value, an export value, nor a United States value existed for such or similar merchandise, and the cost of production for the imported merchandise, in Canadian dollars per 1,000 pieces, was as given below less 10 percent:

3)The appeals are abandoned as to all merchandise except that invoiced under the descriptions given in paragraph 2, and upon this stipulation the appeals enumerated in attached schedule may be deemed to be submitted.
On the agreed facts I find the cost of production, as that value is defined in section 402 (f) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise described below, and that such values, for the merchandise exported during the period from January 1, 1943, to November 18, 1946, were as follows:
Canadian dollars per 1,000 pieces

The appeals having been abandoned insofar as they relate to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeals are hereby dismissed. Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
