Segment Notes:

This segment is used to indicate the dimensions of the goods item identified in the GID segment. All dimensions given in the DIM segments relate to the highest level packaging (the despatch units) identified in the GID segment.

DE 6145: This qualifier determines the dimension values to be applied either to one single despatch unit of the goods item or to a number of despatch units of the goods item.

When Unit Gross Dimensions are provided in this segment the dimension values provided relate to the total gross dimensions of one single despatch unit in the goods item. The number of despatch units of the goods item that all have the same quoted gross dimensions is specified in the EQN segment when different from the number of despatch units specified in the GID segment.

When Gross Dimensions are provided the dimension values relate to the total gross weight of a number of despatch units in the goods item. The number of despatch units of the goods item that together have the quoted gross dimension is specified in the EQN segment when different from the number of despatch units specified in the GID segment.

Example :

DIM+1+MTR:4:2:2'
