Why did Napoleon want to stop British goods from reaching Europe?

Napoleon was able to conquer continental Europe due to his superior army and tactics. However the French Navy was inferior to the British Navy so he could not easily invade and defeat Britain. Britain, meanwhile, was free to aid the enemies of Napoleon in Europe by subsidising them and sending them supplies. Napoleon attempted to destroy Britain by destroying its trade. He forbade any country under his control to trade with Britain or accept British goods. This would deprive the British of their revenue and, he hoped, force them to stop supporting his opponents in Europe. The strategy was ultimately unsuccessful.

Napoleon set up the CONTINENTAL SYSTEM which was an economic embargo from the entire continent of Europe against Britain. This kind of deprivation from goods would force British businesses to struggle both because of needed imported materials and the lack of a large external market to sell its goods. (While the United States and the British colonial empire still consumed British goods, there was much more volume to Britain-Europe trade than British-Americas trade.)

Napoleon want to stop British goods from reaching Europe?

He was trying to weaken England. This tactic was called the Continental System and it failed because European residents had grown accustomed to UK products and refused to end trade and smuggling. Napoleon's Naval Forces failed to prevent smuggling and were always at risk from the Royal Navy.
