commercial code

Business transaction laws

Commercial code refers to the body of laws governing business transactions, including the sale of goods, contracts, banking, and secured transactions.

In the United States, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) standardizes these rules across states, making interstate commerce more predictable.

The term also applies to numerical classification systems used by businesses or governments to categorize commercial activities, products, or tax statuses.
