What English acts heavily taxed goods shipped in the Southern Colonies and countries other than England?

The English acts that heavily taxed goods shipped from the Southern Colonies and other countries included the Navigation Acts. These laws mandated that certain goods, such as tobacco and sugar, be shipped exclusively to England or through English ships, imposing tariffs and duties on goods traded outside this system. Additionally, the Molasses Act of 1733 taxed molasses imported from non-English territories, further burdening colonial trade. These measures aimed to reinforce mercantilist policies and ensure that colonial commerce benefited England economically.
