Weight Calculation

MoverMate automatically uses the entered tare and gross weights to determine the Net Weight (Payload).

Net Weight (Payload) = Gross Weight − Tare Weight

Example

Tare Weight: 25 KG
Gross Weight: 30 KG
Net Weight (Payload): 5 KG

The calculated weight information is included in the generated declaration PDF.

Review the entered details.
Tap Submit Declaration.
The declaration will be saved.
