Best Answer

In the 1600s Portugal had lots of colonies such as Brazil, India, Macau and the African colonies.

The main import was spices until the discovery of gold mines in Brazil that made gold the most imported good.

Besides spices and gold, Portugal also traded Silks, Slaves, Diamonds, Furs, Tea, and coffee, just to quote a few.
