As part of mercantilism, England listed special products from the colonies that could be sold only to British merchants. These special, or "enumerated," products were sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo, and later rice, molasses, naval stores (tar, pitch, etc.), furs, and iron. English merchants were allowed to sell those goods to whoever they choose as long as they were first taken to England or Scotland where a tariff (tax) would be added to them. For example, if a Virginian planter wished to sell his tobacco, he could only sell it to an English merchant. The English merchant then had to take it to England, pay taxes on it there, and then sell it to whomever. According to the text, which of the following was NOT a characteristic of enumerated goods?
A. They could only be sold to colonists

B. Special taxes were added to them before being sold

C. The goods had to be taken to England before being sold

D. They could only be sold to British merchants
