Ice crumb; cite net used volume measure (5,10)

I believe the answer is:

cubic centimetre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'volume measure' is the definition.
'cubic centimetre' can be an answer for 'measure' (cubic centimetre is a kind of measure). I am not certain of the 'volume' bit.

'ice crumb cite net used' is the wordplay.
'used' is an anagram indicator.
'ice'+'crumb'+'cite'+'net'='icecrumbcitenet'
'icecrumbcitenet' with letters rearranged gives 'CUBIC CENTIMETRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cubic centimetre that I've seen is " Small volume".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
