In Brazilian Portuguese, 'objetos não especificados' is commonly used in formal, technical, and legal documents. In everyday speech, Brazilians might use more casual terms like 'coisas' (things) or 'troços' (bits/pieces). In the USA, this phrase is typical of bureaucratic and technical language, particularly in legal documents, inventory systems, and scientific discourse.
