What two goals did britis hope to accomplish by passinnng the Tea Act?

The British Parliament passed the Townsend Acts in June 1767, representing four measures devised by Charles Townsend, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The acts had two purposes: reformation of customs policy in the colonies and the raising of revenue through excises. The acts failed to accomplish both goals and were repealed after three years.
