Goods refer to any physical items, cargo, or freight being transported, stored, or handled in a supply chain, distinguishing them from passenger transport. The term covers everything from raw bulk materials to finished retail products. In logistics contracts and customs documentation, the exact classification of goods determines the tariffs applied, the handling requirements, and the liability limits of the carrier.
