True. The British did begin taxing colonists for importing products like glass, lead, paper, and tea. This was part of the series of acts passed by the British Parliament called the Townshend Acts. These acts were enacted in 1767 and were part of Britain's effort to assert more control over the American colonies and to generate revenue to pay for the administration of the colonies. The taxes imposed on these imported goods created significant tension and resistance among the colonists, ultimately leading to events like the Boston Tea Party and contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
