marchandise


Explanation:
Unless the text indicates elsewhere what category(ies) of 'materials' are being sold, it's best to use a generic term.

agree  Caroline Bajwel: oui, produits me semble le plus adapté
2 hrs
  -> merci !
neutral  Jennifer Levey: But if the 'materials' are in fact, for example, 'construction materials' (bricks, plaster, etc.), then a better translation would be 'matériaux (de construction)', rather than 'produits (de construction)'.
5 hrs
  -> Well, that's the point! We do not know what kind of 'materials' we're talking about...
agree  ph-b (X): Le texte source dit qu'ils sont téléchargeables sur le site de l'Agent ; « Produits » (avec une majuscule) paraît plus probable que les autres réponses. Le niveau de confiance est correct, faute d'avoir la définition de ces Materials.
