I am unable to find the exact meaning of "è". It describes a certain condition of parcels. I just guessd that it means "and" like "et" in French but not sure, even I cannot determine what language it is...Please help me. Thank you in advance.

A is over 30kg & B is less than 6mm.
Typo for &, or more likely the document was scanned and then read by an OCR software and the ampersand (&) was recognized as è.
I think it is this simple.

: 'è' means 'is' in Italian whereas 'e' without the accent is simply 'and'. It is almost certain that this is what was intended.

: On a Spanish keyboard and probably on some other keyboards too, the "6" and "&" are the same key, "6" is lower case and "&" is upper case.

: On French keyboards, è is on the "7" key, while "&" is what you get with the same key + shift on an English keyboard. I use one keyboard and shortcut between French and English setups.

: Either OCR problem, or a mixup of French and English keyboards, as noted by Barbara.

Comment: "Thanks all answerers. I submitted the translation as meaning of "&" with a comment but I haven't received the feedback from the clent.
The "&" would be most probable..."
