Imports are all products brought into the colonies most of which were from England. Colonists imported much more than they exported so, the balance of trade was in England's favor. The colonists imported (or made at home) almost everything they needed to sustain life: Clothing,furniture tools, silver, books, some foodstuffs, leather goods, sugar, molasses, weapons and slaves.
