To show you how weird the bureaucrats were, even back then, the ships was impounded by the port in red tape. The captain was told he could not sail home without unloading his contents of tea. The tea was gone so he could not do that. The ship sat for a fair amount of time before it was released. Even then the Government had issues.

How were the townshend acts?
In 1767 British Parliament decided to tax the American colonists. The series of four acts (The Townshend Acts) imposed duties on imports of lead, paint, glass, paper, and tea and established a board of customs commissioners to enforce collection. They also revived colonial quartering of British troops. The colonists protested the new laws as taxation without representation and resisted compliance. Nonimportation agreements among colonial merchants cut British imports in half by 1769. In 1770 all the duties except the tax on tea were repealed. However during the course of their being unfairly taxed the colonists snuck into the Boston Harbor, disguised as Indians, and dumped tea into Boston Harbor; thus the Boston Tea Party was born.
