Gross Weight is the Net weight plus the tare, the tare being the mass of the container the item is contained within. Example: a package containing a steak in a supermarket freezer has a net weight of 650grams. The gross weight is the 650grams plus the 10-12 grams of tray and packaging. Essentially the gross weight is a weight of the whole package.
