trade goods
Barter-worthy cargo items
Trade goods are commodities exchanged in commerce, especially items produced or acquired specifically for barter or sale rather than personal use.
The term often appears in historical contexts—fur traders carrying trade goods to exchange with indigenous peoples, or merchants stocking trade goods for distant markets: Glass beads were common trade goods in colonial Africa.
