TARE AND TRET are rules for deducting customary allowances in business, when goods are sold by weight. 1 Gross weight is the weight of the goods, and the box, barrel, or bag which contains them. 2. Tare is an allowance made to the buyer for the weight of the box, barrel, bag, &c. which contains the goods; and is generally at so much per box, barrel, &c. ; but in some cases, at so much per cwt. ; or at so much per cent, that is, so many lb. in every 100 lb. 3. Suttle is the weight of the goods, when the tare is taken from the gross weight, and is called Tare Suttle. 4. Tret is an allowance of 4 lb. in every 104, or part of the whole, for waste, &c. 5. Cloff is an allowance made, after tare and tret are deducted, of 2 lb. upon every 3 cwt., that the weight may hold good, when the article is sold by retail. 6. Neat weight is what remains after all allowances are made. |
