trading goods

Bartering physical products

Trading goods are commodities exchanged in commerce, particularly items bought and sold between merchants, nations, or cultures.

The phrase often evokes historical or international trade: Spices were valuable trading goods along the Silk Road.

Trading goods may also refer to merchandise held for exchange rather than personal use.
