Right - that was for Canada and Mexico. One thing - a Liter is not SI
metric.
It is 'old school' metric.

But the high up managers are 'old school' so we understand!

You mean one liter is no longer one thousand cubic centimeters weighing
one
gram each so a liter of water is one kilogram, and there are a thousand
millimeters to a meter?

The liter is not a "legal" SI unit. The SI unit is the cubic decimeter. And
"weight" is an ambiguous term that is not accepted under the standard.

And one calorie is one cubic centimeter of water
heated by one degree Celsius?

The calorie is not a "legal" SI unit, either.

Use of the SI vs. cgm continues to be unsettled in many fields.
