Net Weight vs Gross Weight

Aren't the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

I believe so too.
But maybe that's not a legal requirement everywhere.
From the packagings I remember, wherever the package weight is significant, "Net Weight" is explicitly stated. So, when I see it not written, I don't assume.
