Segment Notes: This segment is used to specify a measurement for the goods identified in the GID segment. All measurements given in the MEA segments relate to the highest level of packaging (the despatch units) identified in the GID segment. DE 6313: This qualifier determines the measurement value to be applied either to one single despatch unit of the goods item or to a number of despatch units of the goods item. When Unit Gross Weight is provided in this segment the measurement provided relates to the total gross weight of one single despatch unit in the goods item. The number of despatch units of the goods item that all have the same quoted gross weight is specified in the EQN segment when different from the number of despatch units specified in the GID segment. When Gross Weight is provided the measurement relates to the total gross weight of a number of despatch units in the goods item. The number of despatch units of the goods item that together have the quoted gross weight is specified in the EQN segment when different from the number of despatch units specified in the GID segment. Example : MEA+CWH+G+KGM:1600'
