raw goods
The American colonies were primarily allowed to trade their goods within the framework of British mercantilism, which restricted their trade to England and its other colonies. They could export raw materials to Britain and import finished goods in return. However, colonial merchants often engaged in smuggling to trade with other nations, including France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic, circumventing British restrictions. This illicit trade was a significant factor in the growing discontent that eventually led to the American Revolution.
The Navigation Acts restricted American trade as follows 1. Only British ships were allowed to carry goods from colonies. 2. Only British citizens were allowed to conduct trade with colonies 3. Commodities could only be exported to British ports.

The most important economic enterprise in the American colonies was the lumber industry. The American colonies traded many goods including cotton and tobacco.
The economic relationship was called Mercantilism. In this system raw goods are sold by the colonies to the "mother" country. The "mother" country would then process and manufacture these goods into a product and sell them back to the colonies at a higher rate. This way, the mainland would make a surplus while the colonies would lose money.

You can trade with you colonies, get cheap goods from them, manufacture them, then sell them back for far much more than you bought them for! You can also attack them and take their stuff, but that rarely ever happend.
