1767-Feb.-14 (approx.): An act of the British Parliament established specific trade permissions for the Jamaican ports of Kingston, Savannah-la-Mar, Montego Bay, and Santa Lucca. The new regulations permitted the entry of foreign goods with the explicit exception of sugar, coffee, pimento, ginger, molasses, and tobacco. This policy aimed to protect British colonial monopolies while allowing for a degree of controlled commercial exchange in the Caribbean. French colonial officials monitored these shifts in British maritime law to assess their impact on regional trade and smuggling.
