It's regular trade practice (6)
I believe the answer is:
custom
This clue is a double definition.
'it's regular trade' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'practice' is the second definition.
(I know that custom is a type of practice)
(Other definitions for custom that I've seen before include "Traditional habit" , "Habitual use" , "Traditional activity or practice" , "Accepted or habitual practice" , "Way of doing things" .)
