En l'absence de dispositions contraires dans le connaissement, le terme unité ou «shipping unit» vise tout objet non emballé (auto, tracteur, yacht, etc.). [...] L'unité [...] s'applique aux marchandises qui, dans le langage courant, ne reçoivent pas le nom de colis parce qu'elles sont conditionnées dans des emballages portant un nom différent: balles, fûts, etc., soit parce qu'il s'agit d'objets qui en raison de leurs dimensions ou de leur nature propre, ne sont pas remis au transporteur dans un emballage [...] 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9

L'analyse de la jurisprudence montre très bien l'ambiguïté du terme unité: elle provient de la distinction qu'il convient d'établir très clairement entre l'unité (shipping unit) visée dans la Convention de Bruxelles et dans la très grande majorité des lois nationales, et la notion de freight unit (unité de fret). 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9
