The reasons the Navigation Acts were not initially enforced by England was because they were hard to enforce. American harbors where ships could be unloaded were out-of-the-way. The Acts did not successfully control the trade. Smuggling was a common practice in the colonies and England. Also, people who could get a better price from a Dutch ship would often want to, no matter how loyal. It came down to whether or not you could afford it.
