  1. 1. Net product = 1000 × 0.4 = 400 kg.
  2. 2. Individual packaging = 1000 × 0.03 = 30 kg.
  3. 3. Cartons = ceil(1000 ÷ 20) = 50; carton tare = 50 × 0.8 = 40 kg.
  4. 4. Pallet tare = 4 × 20 = 80 kg.
  5. 5. Packaging/tare total = 30 + 40 + 80 + 10 = 160 kg.
  6. 6. Cargo gross = 400 + 160 = 560 kg.

Planning estimate only. Gross physical weight is not automatically carrier chargeable weight, verified gross mass (VGM), customs declared weight or a scale measurement. Use measured production/packed weights and the applicable carrier, forwarder and regulatory rules for final documents.
