Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 t = 1000 kg exactly. The British "tonne" and the metric "ton" are identical.
  • In export contracts always specify "metric ton" or "MT" to avoid ambiguity with US or UK tons.
  • Commodity prices (wheat, sugar, iron ore) are usually quoted per metric ton.

Avoid these

  • Using "ton" without qualifier in US contracts — default is often the short ton (907 kg), a 9% gap.
  • Confusing metric ton with long ton on UK-origin commodity contracts.
  • Writing "ton" when accuracy matters in shipping — always write "MT" or "tonne".
