Main Points of this Chapter;Introduction;Because different countries have different systems on calculating units such as length, capacity and weight, the units of measurement vary from a country to another. Furthermore, the same unit of measurement may represent different quantities. ;Units of Measurement;长度换算;容积换算;1．Weight（重量） ;3．Length（长度） ;5．Volume（体积） ;In international trade, goods are most often measured in the units of weight. The methods to measure the weight of goods are stated as follows. ;Weight Calculation（重量的计算）;(1) By actual tare: The actual weight of packages of the whole commodities. ;(4) By computed tare: The weight of package is calculated according to the tare previously agreed upon by the seller and the buyer instead of actual weight. Occasionally, the weights of some commodities are usually calculated by conditioned weight and theoretical weight。 ;This refers to the kind of weight derived from the process, with which the moisture content of the commodity is removed and standardized moisture added both by scientific methods. This kind of calculating method is suitable to those cargoes, which are of high economic value and with unsteady moisture content (whose water contents are not stable), such as wool, raw silk, etc. ;The Formula Of Calculating Conditioned Weight;计算：;实际回潮率=;解答2 ;4) Theoretical Weight（理论重量） ;5) Legal Weight（法定重量） ;Quantity Tolerance （数量机动幅度条款 ） ;;Section Three Quantity Terms in the Contract; The words about or approximately used in connection with the amount of the credit or the quantity or the unit price stated in the credit are to be constructed as allowing a tolerance not to exceed 10% more or 10% less than the amount, the quantity or the unit price to which they refer. ;A tolerance not to exceed 5% more or 5% less than the quantity of the goods is allowed, provided the credit does not state the flexible quantity. B. Even when partial shipments are not allowed, a tolerance not to exceed 5% less than the amount of the credi
