1 metric ton equals 35274 ounces. To convert metric tons to ounces, multiply the metric ton value by 35274. For quick reference: 1 t = 35274 oz, 5 t = 176370 oz, 10 t = 352740 oz, 100 t = 3527396 oz.

Quick
When to use metric tons → ounces
Metric tonnes to avoirdupois ounces multiplies by about 35 273.96 (1 000 000 g ÷ 28.349523125 g/oz). A 0.5 t pallet is roughly 17 636.98 oz; 0.001 t (1 kg) is 35.27 oz. The pairing spans five orders of magnitude, so it appears mostly in commodity paperwork where a bulk metric weight must be restated per-ounce — coffee, cocoa, or precious-metal adjacent trades. For gold and silver, note the troy ounce (31.1035 g) is a different unit; this factor is avoirdupois only.
This pairing rarely appears outside commodity trading desks reconciling a bulk metric shipment against a customer contract quoted in ounces — 0.001 t (1 kg) is 35.27 oz, 0.01 t is 352.7 oz, and 0.1 t is 3,527 oz. Because ounces are such a small unit against a tonne, the resulting numbers get unwieldy fast; anyone doing this by hand more than once should route through kilograms as an intermediate step to keep the arithmetic sane.

About the metric ton and the ounce
The metric ton
The metric ton, or tonne (t), equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard unit for industrial shipping, freight, and bulk commodities such as steel, grain, and cement. Despite the name, it is not part of the strict SI system (the SI name is the megagram), but it is universally accepted in commerce and engineering.
The ounce
The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams (1/16 of an avoirdupois pound). It is the standard small-mass unit in the United States for food packaging, recipes, and postal weights. Do not confuse it with the troy ounce (used for precious metals, 31.1035 g) or the fluid ounce (a volume).
