German term or phrase: Vorbehaltsware / Eigentumsvorbehalt
re General Terms and conditions of trade in textile industry.
PS I put both terms in one query as they are so closely related.

Text:
§ 10 Eigentumsvorbehalt
1. Die Ware bleibt bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung sämtlicher Forderungen aus Warenlieferungen aus der gesamten Geschäftsverbindung, einschließlich Nebenforderungen, Schadensersatzansprüchen und Einlösungen von Schecks und Wechseln, Eigentum des Verkäufers. Der Eigentumsvorbehalt bleibt auch dann bestehen, wenn einzelne Forderungen des Verkäufers in eine laufende Rechnung aufgenommen werden und der Saldo gezogen und anerkannt wird.
2. Wird die Vorbehaltsware vom Käufer zu einer neuen beweglichen Sache verbunden, vermischt oder verarbeitet, so erfolgt dies für den Verkäufer, ohne dass dieser hieraus verpflichtet wird.

Retained goods / Retention of title
Explanation:
§10 Retention of Title (or Ownership)
...
2. If the retained goods are ...

I would refer to the goods like this. It means, obviously, the goods for which title is retained, not that the goods are retained.

\"Goods subject to retention of title\" is of course OK, since it is fully explicit. But in my opinion \"retained goods\" is better, because it is simpler, while still being perfectly adequate: if you retain title, you retain the goods (even if they are no longer physically in your possession).

agree  AmiHH: though I usually prefer to say reserved goods and retention of title. BTW, I could have sworn this was in the glossary.
