    Goods sold
     
    In relation to the sale of goods, revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and
    no
    significant uncertainties remain regarding recovery of the consideration due, the costs associated with the possible return of the products, and when there is
    no
    continuing management involvement with the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration (price) received or receivable, net of returns, commercial deductions and discounts.
