Tare and Tret in commercial terms are deductions usually made from the gross weight of goods. Tare is the weight of the case or covering, box, or such-like, containing the goods, or the vehicle carrying them; deducting this the net weight is left. Tret is a further allowance (not now so commonly deducted) made at the rate of 4 lb for every 104 lb (4 kg for every 104 kg) for waste through dust, sand, etc.
