Silk spices gun powder fireworks These were the main ones. Actually as soon as Rome fell in 410 AD the imports stopped after awhile. The Silk Road was dangerous and it took a long time to get things back to Europe. It wasn't until the 1400's when exploration started that people began to want the things that Asia had to offer. One unexpected import from Asia was the plague and that also cut the travel between Asia and Europe.
