1766-Nov.-01: New export duties were implemented for enslaved people leaving Jamaica on foreign vessels, set at a rate of 1 pound 10 shillings per person. Similar taxes were imposed on imports of salted provisions, sugar, cocoa, and coffee entering Dominica from foreign sources. These duties were calculated based on British sterling and intended to generate revenue for the imperial treasury. The systematic taxation of the slave trade and provisions reflects the bureaucratic consolidation of the British Atlantic empire after 1763.
