β’ Difference between gross weight and net weight in shipping documents β’ What is included in cargo weight versus packaging, pallets, and containers β’ How a cargo manifest records weights for freight calculations and safety

β’ Identify which term means weight of contents only, with no packaging β’ Identify which term means weight of contents plus packaging and container β’ Eliminate any terms that are clearly about vessel structure or tariff calculations rather than physical cargo contents
