Colonists refused to buy British goods
Typically fifty years, and that is for some of their confidential and non-disclosure agreements concerning secret information.
Colonists opposed the Townshend Acts through various methods, including boycotting British goods, organizing protests, and forming groups like the Sons of Liberty. They encouraged non-importation agreements to resist purchasing British products, which aimed to economically pressure Britain. Additionally, they used propaganda to rally public opinion against the acts, highlighting their perceived injustices and fostering a sense of unity among the colonies.

The Non-Importation Agreements were a set of agreements initiated by the Stamp Act Congress which boycotted all British goods in the colonies until the Stamp Act was repealed. It was successful and Parliament repealed the act. Colonial resistance to British control took many forms, perhaps the most effective was the general success of the non-importation agreements. Such agreements appeared as early as 1766. They had a chilling effect on the British Merchants who traded with the colonies. The Stamp Act was repealed, eventually, based on appeals from Merchants who lost money shipping goods to a land that would not receive them. Not incidentally, the customs offices in the colonies could not collect taxes on goods that were either not allowed ashore at all, or were never sold. Non-importation agreements reached ultimate effect in response to the Townshend Revenue Act, when in 1768 Boston passed its act. Every port city and nearly every region would soon adopt such acts. Finally, in 1774, the first Continental Congress of the colonies would pass The Association, a colony-wide prohibition against any trade with Great Britain.
The non-importation agreement of 1768 was aimed at boycotting any kind of goods or merchandize from Great Britain
Various non-importation laws prevent foreign goods from competing with domestic products.(* The Non-Importation Act was passed by Congress in 1806 to pressure Britain to stop impressment of American sailors. It did not do much and tensions escalated into the War of 1812.)

The Boston Non-Importation Agreement was a collective boycott initiated by Boston merchants in response to the British Stamp Act of 1765 and subsequent taxation policies. It aimed to protest against British goods and reduce imports, thereby exerting economic pressure on Britain to repeal the taxes. The agreement was part of a broader movement among American colonists to resist British authority and laid the groundwork for increased unity among the colonies. This act of defiance contributed to the rising tensions that eventually led to the American Revolution.
