Weight or mass?
Strictly, kilograms and pounds measure mass; weight is the force of gravity on that mass. In everyday life — kitchen scales, luggage, parcels — the words are used interchangeably, and the conversions here are the standard legal definitions.
Three different “tons”
A metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kg. A US (short) ton is 2,000 lb ≈ 907 kg. A UK (long) ton is 2,240 lb ≈ 1,016 kg. Check which one a document means before converting.
