Commentary for Sheviit 5:7

הַיּוֹצֵר, מוֹכֵר חֲמִשָּׁה כַּדֵּי שֶׁמֶן וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר כַּדֵּי יַיִן, שֶׁכֵּן דַּרְכּוֹ לְהָבִיא מִן הַהֶפְקֵר. וְאִם הֵבִיא יוֹתֵר מִכָּאן, מֻתָּר. וּמוֹכֵר לְנָכְרִים בָּאָרֶץ, וּלְיִּשְׂרָאֵל בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ:

The potter may sell five oil jugs and fifteen wine jugs, since it is common [for a buyer] to collect [such an amount] from ownerless [produce]. If one collects more, [selling more jugs is] permitted. He may sell [more jugs] to non-Jews in the land [of Israel] and to Jews outside of the land.
