Why Two Different "Tons" Exist in Global Trade
The metric ton (1,000 kg) is the international standard, while the US short ton (2,000 lbs = 907.185 kg) persists in American domestic commerce. This creates confusion in international contracts — a "ton" of coal priced at $50/ton differs by $5 depending on which ton is meant. International trade contracts now typically specify "MT" (metric ton) or "ST" (short ton) explicitly to avoid expensive misunderstandings.
Commodity Markets and Ton Confusion
Major commodity exchanges use different ton standards: the London Metal Exchange prices in metric tons, while some US agricultural markets use short tons. When comparing prices across markets, always verify the ton type. A shipment invoiced at 1,000 "tons" could mean 907,185 kg (short tons) or 1,000,000 kg (metric tons) — an 10% difference worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Key Takeaways
- 1 metric ton = 1.10231 short tons (US tons).
- A metric ton is ~10% heavier than a short ton.
- 1 short ton = 2,000 lbs = 907.185 kg.
- Always specify "MT" or "ST" in international trade contracts.
- Quick estimate: metric tons + 10% ≈ short tons.
- London Metal Exchange uses metric tons; some US markets use short tons.
