Shock involving eastern goods (7)

I believe the answer is:

freight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'goods' is the definition.
(freight is a kind of goods)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for freight that I've seen before include "Goods carried by a large vehicle" , "Something carried" , "Consignment" , "Transport of bulk goods" , "that's carried by rail and road" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
