Definition
A government building where taxes on imported goods are collected and customs duties are paid.
Etymology
Compound of 'customs' (plural of custom, referring to tax duties) and 'house' (Old English hus), dating back to medieval European trade regulations.
Kelly Says
Customshouses were often the most hated buildings in port cities—they represented the power of governments to tax trade and sparked conflicts like the Boston Tea Party.
