Answer 2

The Answer is:

In the 3rd millennium Bc , great civilizations like in egyptian Civilization and the Orient had established customs. The state's financial demands were met by the tax collections. The Greek word "teloneum" is where the term "customs" originates.

• The tax known as octroi duty is imposed by state or local governments on a certain class of products when they enter the region.
• It is a fee for permitting the transportation of goods through the area.
• Octroi duties have a long history, dating back to the Roman era when they were known as "vectigalia".
• These "vectigalia" included the "portorium", which was a duty assessed at the entry to or exit from the provinces, the "ansarium" and "foricarium", which was a charge assessed at the gateway to cities, and the "edulia", which were sales imposts assessed in marketplaces.
• Wine and other specific food items were subject to "vectigalia", although the cities were seldom given permission to spend all of the tax revenue. 
• The duty of Matthew the tax collector in the gospels, according to Anglican Bishop Charles Ellicott, was "to collect the octroi imposed mostly on fish, fruit, and other goods that composed the export of "Capernaum"" just on "Sea of Galilee".
• The Romans brought "vectigalia" to Gaul, where they survived the Frankish conquest under the names "tonlieux" and "coutumes". They were often imposed by seigniorage owners.
