Article R4541-10 of the French Labour Code

The consignor of any package or object weighing 1,000 kilograms or more gross weight and intended for carriage by sea or inland waterway shall clearly and durably mark the outside of the package with its weight.
In exceptional cases where it is difficult to determine the exact weight, the weight marked may be a maximum weight established on the basis of the volume and nature of the package.
