Unit of Measure Codes

Unit of Measure (UoM) codes specify how a product’s net content is measured (for example, each, ounce, pound, or liter). Entering the correct UoM code ensures your product data is accurate, standardized, and usable by trading partners, retailers, and downstream systems.

Below the codes are listed alphabetically. When completing the Product Import Template, enter the corresponding UOM code in one or more of the following columns:

  • NetContent1UnitOfMeasure
  • NetContent2UnitOfMeasure
  • NetContent3UnitOfMeasure
