The British East India Company couldn't make a profit on smuggled tea due to the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. The act allowed the company to sell tea directly to the colonies, bypassing colonial merchants and reducing the price of tea. However, this led to the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, where colonists protested the monopoly and high taxes on tea by dumping the East India Company's tea into Boston Harbor.
Oh, dude, that would be the British East India Company during the Boston Tea Party. Like, they tried to sneak in some tea without paying taxes, but those rebellious colonists were like, "No way, José!" and dumped it all into the harbor. So yeah, not the best business move for the East India Company.
Well, imagine a little squirrel trying to sell tea to other squirrels in the forest. It's just not the right fit, is it? Sometimes, certain things are meant to be enjoyed in a different way. It's all about finding the right path for each unique journey, my friend.

Why was tea smuggled in to the colonies from Holland?
They were making money. Pure and simple and these guys really got upset when the Tea Act came along to LOWER taxes on British tea ( no they didn't make the tax higher). The smugglers saw that they would loose money to the British tea because it would be cheaper than the Dutch tea. Hamilton was involved in this as well.
