cargo shipment

Goods being transported

Cargo shipment refers to goods being transported from one place to another, especially in bulk commercial quantities.

The phrase emphasizes the logistics of moving merchandise: The cargo shipment arrived at the port three days late.

It can refer to the goods themselves or the act of sending them: We're expecting a cargo shipment of auto parts next week.
