How did the navigation acts ensure that only England could benefit from trade with the American colonies?

directed the flow of goods between England ColoniesThe Navigation Acts required that all colonial trade be carried in vessels built and owned by English or colonial merchants. The ships had to be manned by crews composed of British seamen. The Acts also required that European nations must sell products to the colonies by first stoping at English ports where they would have to pay a customs duty (tax). The products were checked and then were permitted to travel to the colonies. All products had to go through these ports controlled by England. This made the cost of the product more expensive but protected the trade of Great Britain. Certain materials from the colonies could only be shipped in British or colonial ships and had to be sent to England first. The product was then taxed and allowed to be sent to its destination in whatever European nation. Colonial products could not be shipped directly to any foreign nation.The Navigation Acts were laws placed by King George III to prohibit trade on overall everything profitable between the 13 colonies and any other country but Great Britain. This helped Great Britain by giving them more and better pick of the goods and products from the 13 colonies that couldn't be found in other countries without competing with other countries for it. However hard this law was enforced, the colonists still found ways to trade slaves, tea, and other goods with some countries in Africa, and with Spain and France as well.
