After the barter contract is executed, each of the parties loses the right of ownership to the property transferred and acquires that right to the property received. The similarity between the barter contract, which involves the compensated transfer of ownership of property, and the contract of sale and purchase means that many of the rules relating to the contract of sale and purchase can be applied to the barter contract (a procedure established in Soviet legislation). Barter originated as a primitive form of commodity exchange but was supplanted by sale and purchase and has generally become insignificant. Under Soviet law the barter contract usually is concluded between citizens, but it may also be made between cooperative and other public organizations. A barter contract involving state organizations may be concluded in cases specifically envisioned by the laws of the USSR and the Union republics. barter trade by the exchange of goods MedicalSeeexchangebarter
BarterThe exchange of goods or services without the use of money as currency. Barter is a contract wherein parties trade goods or commodities for other goods, as opposed to sale or exchange of goods for money. Barter is not applicable to contracts involving land, but solely to contracts relating to goods and services. For example, when a tenant exchanges the performance of various maintenance tasks around a house for free room and board, a barter has taken place. barter exchanging one thing for another. If there is money involved (a part exchange) then the transaction is probably one of sale. The position in the UK is that barter is now governed by the same kind of implied terms as a sale. See QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, TITLE.BARTER. A contract by which the parties exchange goods for goods. To complete the contract the goods must be delivered, for without a delivery, the right of property is not changed.
2. This contract differs from a sale in this, that barter is always of goods for goods, whereas a sale is an exchange of goods for money. In the former there never is a price fixed, in the latter a price is indispensable. All the differences which may be pointed out between these two contracts, are comprised in this; it is its necessary consequence. When the contract is an exchange of goods on one side, and on the other side the consideration is partly goods and partly money, the contract is not a barter, but a sale. See Price; Sale.

If an insurance be made upon returns from a country where trade is carried on by barter, the valuation of the goods in return shall be made on the cost of those given in barter, adding all charges.

BarterThe trading/exchange of goods or services without using currency.BarterTo trade one item for another of roughly equal value. That is, bartering occurs without a medium of exchange like money. For example, one may trade 10 apples for 10 oranges. Bartering exists in all societies, though it is less common than monetary transactions. See also: Horizontal Security Exchange, Payment-in-Kind.barter an exchange mechanism for buying and selling goods and services which involves the physical ‘swapping’ of one product for another. Generally, barter is a cumbersome and inefficient means of organizing exchanges in an economy, since a large amount of time is wasted in seeking out and finding compatible ‘swap’ partners (i.e. each selling what the other wants to buy), and then haggling over an appropriate exchange rate (for example how many tomatoes equal a sewing machine?). All these difficulties can be overcome by the use of MONEY as a common denominator to conclude transactions and ‘price’ individual products. For all its disadvantages, barter (or COUNTERTRADE as it is often referred to) is still widely used in the context of INTERNATIONAL TRADE. Firms which are unable to obtain the necessary foreign currencies they require to finance a trade deal (because the government operates FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROLS or because the country has simply run out of currencies due to a balance of payment deficit), often enter into a bilateral ‘swap’ deal with firms in other countries arranging a suitable product exchange. barter the EXCHANGE of one economic good or service for another. Barter as an exchange mechanism, however, suffers from a number of serious disadvantages: - for barter to take place, there must be a ‘coincidence of wants’, that is, each party to the barter must be able to offer something that the other wants. For example, an apple-grower wishing to obtain oranges must not only find an orange-grower but must particularly find an orange-grower wishing to acquire apples. Finding appropriate exchange partners can involve lengthy search activity, which reduces the time available for actually producing goods;
- even if the parties meet up, they then have to agree on an appropriate ‘rate of exchange’, for example, how many apples are to be exchanged for one orange? Haggling over exchange terms is again time-consuming, and where agreement cannot be reached between the two parties each will then have to seek out new exchange partners.
Overall, barter is a very inefficient means of organizing transactions in an economy and has been largely superseded by the PRICE SYSTEM in modern economies, using money as a medium of exchange. See COUNTERTRADE, BLACK ECONOMY barter
