Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getCommodityWeight([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setCommodityWeight([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

The shipping weight of this commodity line item, including containers, for each commodity with a separate Harmonized Tariff Code. This weight does not include carrier equipment.

For FedEx, if the shipment contains non-documents item(s) (i.e., the Documents is set to False), the CommodityWeight is required to be entered for each commodity line item included in shipment. At least one commodity occurrence is required for international dutiable (non-documents) shipments.

For UPS, this is required and applicable to CO and SED forms only .

When using USPS and PostageProvider is set to ppNone, the format of this property must be "XX lbs YY oz", where XX is the number of pounds and YY is the number of ounces.

However, in USPS, if PostageProvider is set to ppEndicia, then the format must be one explicit decimal position in ounces (i.e. N.N formatting).

The size of the array is controlled by the CommodityCount property.

This property is not available at design time.
