weight allowance
Permitted cargo mass
Weight allowance is the maximum weight permitted for luggage, cargo, or equipment—typically set by airlines, shipping companies, or racing authorities.
Airlines specify a weight allowance per passenger: The weight allowance for checked bags is 50 pounds.
In horse racing, weight allowances are reductions granted to certain horses or apprentice jockeys to equalize competition.
