bulk goods
Unpackaged wholesale items
Bulk goods are commodities sold in large, unpackaged quantities rather than individual units—grain, oil, coal, chemicals.
The term appears in shipping, warehousing, and wholesale trade: The port handles mostly bulk goods like ore and lumber.
Bulk goods typically require specialized handling equipment and storage facilities.
