Figuring out if something counts as a commercial item can be tricky—you're basically checking if a product or service is sold to the general public or widely available in the marketplace, not custom-made or special-order. This determination often involves reviewing how the item is used, its standard pricing, and whether comparable goods are routinely stocked by suppliers.
