Thanks to all. In particular, honourable mention to G2E for "tradeable"; I found that this term was also widely used, although outnumbered about 4 to 1 by "tradable", and for pointing out that I was wrong about there not being a cognate.

suitable for export


Explanation:
I wouldn't say <tradable> <not-tradable> because export status has nothing to do with the goods being tradable domestically.

"transar"


Explanation:
Just to clarify the term "transar" (response to mgonzalez):

it is a real word; you will find it in all the major dictionaries (e.g., Oxford: "(AmL) (Com, Fin) to buy and sell"

Spanish-English Dictionary of Law & Business: "to trade, buy and sell".

And thank you, GoodWords, for the honourable mention.
