Morphology
The meaning 'products that can be physically touched' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'physical' (tangible/material) with 'goods' (products/commodities). This simple adjective + noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase physical goods comes from a simple image: physical means things you can touch and goods means items for sale. So the phrase reminds us of boxes, books, or phones you can hold, not 'services' or 'digital' products.
