banned goods
Prohibited trade items
Banned goods are items prohibited by law from being sold, possessed, or transported.
The term typically appears in contexts of trade restrictions, customs enforcement, or wartime regulations: The ship was seized for carrying banned goods.
What qualifies varies by jurisdiction—firearms, certain drugs, endangered animal products, or sanctioned materials might all be banned goods depending on where you are.
