Denmark is said to be the first country to abolish the transatlantic slave trade, in 1803; however slavery continued in the Danish colonies till the mid 1840s. But prior to what Denmark decided, other countries had also made rulings about abolishing the purchase of slaves from other countries. One example is England: in 1569, a British court case involving a man who had bought a slave from Russia resulted in a ruling that slavery was not allowed in England.
