sorry, but above isn't true. Dictionary of Polish Language (SJP) says "waga = 3. �ci�ar danego cia�a�
Waga towaru.
Waga brutto, netto."

Andrzej Mierzejewski Nov 30, 2004:
Polish "waga" = scales, weigher. Still, this term is frequently and incorrectly used in Polish as equivalent for "weight".

masa netto

IMHO this is the correct technical term used do describe the weight of a product:

http://www.ascad.pl/lg/
Masa netto: 4 kg; Masa brutto: 5,5 kg; (net weight 4 kg; gross weight 5.5 kg)

http://www.safedeal.pl/produkty.php?ID=3&MID=18
Masa netto: 12 kg

used on official forms:
http://www.stat.gov.pl/stale/intrastat/deklaracje/wywoz.doc
17. Masa netto (w kg)

http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&q="masa netto"&btnG=Szukaj...


the waga/masa words tend to be used interchangeably and the difference is in the register of language: waga is a more common word while masa is a more technical one
