Understanding settings and results

- Chinese jin uses the common mainland China definition of 500 grams.
Scope and limitations
- Ton definitions and historical Chinese units may vary by country or system.
- Shipping dimensional weight is a separate calculation using the carrier formula.
Troubleshooting
- To distinguish jin from kilograms, remember that 1 kilogram equals 2 Chinese jin.
- An ounce can mean a fluid ounce. Use volume conversion for liquid volume.
