(i) If the difference between the dry weights (as defined below) of the Products at the Loading Port and the Discharging Port is less than or equal to 0.5% (zero point five percent), the weight indicated in the Certificate of Weight issued at the Loading Port shall prevail;
如果装货港和卸货港中货物的干重量之间的差额小于或等于0.5%(百分之零点五),以装货港所发的重量证明所标示的重量为准。
(ii) If the difference between the dry weights of the Products at the Loading Port and the Discharging Port is more than 0.5% (zero point five percent) or equal to 1.0% (one percent), the arithmetic average of the weights indicated in the Certificates of Weight issued at the Loading Port and the Discharging Port shall prevail; and
如果装货港和卸货港中货物的干重量之间的差额大于0.5%(百分之零点五),或等于1.0%(百分之一),以装货港和卸货港各自发的重量证明上,所标示的重量的算术平均为准。
(iii) If the difference between the dry weights of the Products at the Loading Port and the Discharging Port is more than 1.0% (one percent), the Parties shall discuss and agree in good faith the final and binding weight.

6.3.2. For purposes of this item, the “dry weight” of any Product at the Loading Port shall be equal to the weight indicated in the Certificate of Weight issued at the Loading Port minus the moisture (H2O) content indicated in the Certificate of Analysis issued by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1.3 above; the dry weight of any Product at the Discharging Port shall be equal to the weight indicated in the Certificate of Weight issued at the Discharging Port minus the moisture content indicated in the Certificate of Inspection and Analysis issued by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2.3 above.
在这一点,装货港任何产品的「干重量」,应该等于装货港所发的重量证明上标示的重量,减掉卖方根据上述内容所发的分析证明中标示的湿度(H2O);卸货港任何产品的干重量,应该等于卸货港所发的重量证明上标示的重量,减掉买方根据上述内容所发的分析证明中标示的湿度(H2O)。

如果在卸货港没有进行水尺计重,或者有进行,但是买方没有在完成卸货后的60(六十)商业日内,将重量证明寄出来,卖方在装货港所进行的重量证明将被认定为最终且对双方都有约束力的。
6.3.4. If any adjustments to the invoice value are needed as a result of the procedure for determination of the final and binding weight of the shipment pursuant to Section 6.3.1, those adjustments shall be confirmed by each party, and the debit or credit note, as the case may be, shall be issued by Seller to Buyer. The payment from Seller to Buyer or Buyer to Seller shall be made no later than 30 (thirty) days from the issuance of the debit or credit note.
如果对任何发票价的任何调整,需要以产品重量最终且对双方都有约束力的测定程序的结果来决定,这些调整应由每一方确认,且依照情况,由卖方发给买方借记单或贷记单。卖方给买方的付款和买方给卖方的付款,都得在借记单或贷记单发出后的30(三十)日内完成。
