1. What happens when one of the goods to be exchanged is worth more than another?

In that case, a surplus can be given without the exchange being altered. In the case the money surplus is greater than the price of the good that is given as part of payment, it would be a sale and not a swap.
2. What goods can be exchanged?

Movable and immovable property present in commerce. State property, foreclosures and property belonging to minors and persons under guardianship or curatorship, or that have spillage of unrestricted valuations while the negotiation process is not performed, are excluded.
