I'm looking at Direct Burial wire or interior grade that would be routed through sealed plastic pipe. I've only checked Home Depot pricing so far and not the local electrical supply house.
Garage has 12awg run to it and is a good 110-120 feet run through the house and ground from the CB box.
Be aware that underground wire in conduit still needs to be rated for wet locations (but not direct burial); if by "interior grade" you mean Romex or something else only approved for dry locations, that would not be up to code.
(There are those who say that it's not permitted to put Romex in conduit, but that's simply incorrect. If the conduit is properly sized it's entirely legal; but the conduit does not make it magically approved for wet locations.)
