Cargo Unit types
Container
→ Gross Weight = Net Weight + Tare
Considering both Net Weight and Tare is essential to calculate the Gross Weight for containers.
Vehicle
→ Gross Weight = Net Weight
Since vehicles are typically not packaged, there is no additional structure around them, and therefore, no tare. The quantity is always 1 to represent a single vehicle.
Bulk Cargo
→ Gross Weigh = Net Weight
The emphasis here is on the weight, not the quantity. For example, receiving a bulk cargo unit representing 1000 tons of fuel or 1000 tons of grain; the focus is on the weight, and we don't count the individual grains in each cereal.
Conventional Cargo
→ Gross Weight = Net Weight
In contrast to bulk cargo, the focus is on quantity. For instance, if the cargo consists of 2 wind turbines, the crucial aspect is the quantity, not necessarily the weight. This distinction is crucial, especially when declaring to customs, as indicating a different quantity may lead to significant issues (2 wind turbines vs 1 wind turbine).
Complete the form and click on Confirm button:

Once you have created your cargo unit, the allocation is automatically set to “1” if the Type is bulk. You can then adjust the number of packages as needed and the Net weight of the CargoUnit.

The Net weight per CargoUnit is multiplied by the number of packages allocated, the product of this operation will be added to the sum of the total Net Weight of the Bill of lading.
Splittings : an existing cargo unit
