What are consumer commodities?

• A. Materials used in large industrial processes only.
• B. Materials packaged in small quantity containers for household or small scale use.
• C. Hazardous substances that require special handling.
• D. Bulk liquids transported in tanker trucks.

Answer: (B)

Consumer commodities are materials packaged in small quantity containers for household or small-scale use. This means they’re everyday products you’d buy at a store and use at home, not large industrial materials or bulk shipments. They’re packaged for consumer sale in limited quantities, which is why they’re treated differently in hazmat rules than items shipped in bulk or requiring special handling. The other options describe materials that aren’t consumer commodities: those used in large industrial processes, those that require extra handling due to hazard, or bulk liquids transported in tanker trucks.
