Dimensional Weight & Packaging
Actual Weight
Also called: Scale weight, gross scale weight
Definition
The physical weight of a package or shipment measured on a scale.
In practical terms
Actual weight should include the goods and all packaging. It is compared with dimensional or density-based results when the service uses a billable-weight calculation.
Example
A packed carton weighs 9.4 kg on a calibrated scale before rounding rules are applied.
