All foreign countries had to pay taxes equally.
B

C
Only the Chinese government could collect tariffs on trade.
D
Countries with a sphere of influence should maintain free access to their ports.
E
The United States would oversee the continuance of the Open Door policy.

Explanation

The Open Door policy called for equal trading opportunities among foreign powers in China. It also said that Chinese authorities, not foreign powers, should collect tariffs, and that ports in each country’s sphere of influence should remain open to other nations. So equal treatment in taxes, Chinese collection of tariffs, and free access to ports were provisions; foreign powers were not exempt from taxes, and the United States was not assigned oversight.
