What is it called to enforce laws to prevent smuggling in the colonies?

Cheaper tea might encourage colonists to stop smuggling. Less smuggling would result in more tax money. Parliament agreed and passed the Tea Act in 1773, which allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonists.

The Molasses Act of 1733, arguably the harshest of England's laws governing colonial trade, provoked a marked increase in smuggling. The act placed prohibitive duties on molasses and sugar shipped to the colonies from the Dutch, Spanish, and French West Indies. Often bribing customs officials to avoid paying duties, colonial merchants smuggled in large quantities of molasses, used primarily in rum production—an integral product in the so-called triangle trade.
