Define the townshend act?
The Townshend Acts applied duties (taxes) to paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea imported by the colonies. Townshend had studied the colonist's distinction between internal and external taxes and he believed his duties were external as none of the products, except tea, could be made in the colonies. The colonists did not agree with his thinking and the result was a colonial boycott against British products. Trade between England and America fell off by 50 percent as a result of the boycott. The British merchants complained to Parliament who repealed the Townshend Duties except the tax on tea. The tea tax was kept in honor of the Declaratory Act. Parliament passed that act to declare that they did have the right to tax the colonies regardless of the American claim of internal or external taxation.

Why did the British think the colonists would tolerate the Townshend Act when they did not tolerate the Stamp Act?

What is a tax placed on an imported good or service?
The most common term for such a tax is to call it a "Tariff" and this is also the historical name. With the streamlining of international transactions in the 19th and 20th centuries, other terms such as "Customs Duty" or "Import Duty" have been used. In addition, the WTO has provided for two other forms of taxes that can be placed on imported goods and services as punishment to other countries for illegal economic practices and these are called "Anti-dumping Duties" and "Countervailing Duties".
