Under the Townshend Acts, the colonists had to pay a tax on certain goods the colonies imported from Britain, such as paper, glass, lead, paints, and tea.

The Townshend acts were designed to collect revenue from the colonists in America by putting customs duties on imports of glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea.
