MARIA I] PROTECCIONISMO COMERCIAL — Proibição de Importação de Manufacturas e Géneros Estrangeiros . Portugal, 1758-1786. 5 diplomas régios. A set of five decrees documenting the protectionist policy of the Portuguese Crown, through the prohibition of the entry into the Kingdom of foreign manufactured goods and products that competed with national production. This policy, characteristic of the enlightened mercantilism of the Pombaline and post-Pombaline periods, aimed to stimulate national industries by excluding equivalent foreign products. April 8, 1758 (King Joseph I) — Decrees that the prohibition of soles and tanned leather not manufactured in the Kingdom and its conquests be observed in customs; reinforcement of the previous prohibition relating to foreign tanned leather. July 27, 1785 (Queen Maria I) — Prohibits the entry of vinegars manufactured in foreign countries into the ports and customs offices of the Kingdom, as they conceal the smuggling of foreign wines; a measure that combines protectionism with control of smuggling. February 14, 1786 (Queen Maria I) — Total ban on the entry of silk stockings manufactured in foreign countries; exception for black silk stockings; four-month period for dispatching existing stock. 2 Aug 1786 (D. Maria I) — Restoration of the Pragmatic Law of 24 May 1749 (chapter 3); prohibition of foreign ribbons with pointed ends, of salpice, and plain ribbons of greater value; protection of the national passementerie industry. sd — Prohibition of the entry into the Kingdom of all rice that is not produced within its own Domains; protection of colonial and metropolitan rice against foreign competition. The collection documents the diversity of sectors covered by the protectionist policy — textiles, leather, spices and cereals — revealing the consistency of a strategy that spanned the reigns of King José I and Queen Maria I. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
