You can view the Item Excise Data using the following steps:

    When an Excise Item is a bottle of wine and has a content of 0.7 liter per bottle, and the bottle is the base unit, then 0.7 must be entered. If the base unit is a box existing out of 6 bottles, then 6 x 0.7 = 4.2 liters must be entered.
