goods shipment

Products in transit

A goods shipment is a quantity of merchandise being transported from one location to another.

The term appears in logistics, trade, and customs contexts: The goods shipment cleared customs yesterday, We're expecting a goods shipment from the warehouse.

Often shortened to just "shipment" when context makes the cargo nature clear.
