No 's' on dozen.

One dozen, four dozen, 12 dozen, etc.

I know you can write 100 miles as 100 mi. Without the s. I think you can write 100 yards as 100 yd.

According to international norms of putting measures, you need to mentioned only the prescribed short forms & prescribed units. This is to facilitate understanding of a person who is not well versed in English. For example,...

2500 kg. you are not to use kgs & also not 2.5 tonnes.

For length you can use only mt. & not cm or inches.

In numbers, you can use only no. & not dozen.
