Under the Navigation Acts, if a colonist bought cloth from France, the cloth would be subject to customs duties upon arrival in the colonies. The Acts mandated that certain goods could only be shipped to England or its colonies on English ships, meaning that the colonist would likely face additional taxes or restrictions. Furthermore, the colonist would have to pay import duties, thereby increasing the cost of the cloth. Ultimately, these regulations aimed to ensure that England benefited economically from colonial trade.

These acts mandated that certain goods, such as tobacco and sugar, be exported only to England or other English colonies, thereby restricting colonial trade and ensuring that profits flowed back to England. The enforcement of these laws contributed to growing tensions between the colonies and the British government, ultimately leading to colonial discontent.

British colonists were upset about England's Navigation Acts because these laws restricted trade to English ships and mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies could only be exported to England. This limited their ability to trade freely with other nations, reducing potential profits and economic opportunities. Many colonists felt that these restrictions benefited England at the expense of their own economic interests, fostering resentment towards British rule. Additionally, the acts fueled a growing desire for independence and self-governance among the colonists.
