A non-importation agreement is a pact made by a group, often in a colonial context, to refuse to import certain goods, typically in response to taxation or trade restrictions imposed by a governing authority. This strategy was commonly used by American colonists before the Revolutionary War as a form of protest against British policies, aiming to pressure the government to repeal unpopular laws. By collectively boycotting British imports, the agreement sought to diminish economic support for British merchants and assert colonial rights.

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.
