Definition
Plural of douane; multiple customs houses or customs authorities.
Etymology
French plural formed by adding '-s' to 'douane'.
Kelly Says
When English speakers use 'douanes' (the French plural), they're often referring specifically to European customs systems, which is why French terms persist in trade and international law—the vocabulary of commerce sometimes stays in its original language even when borrowed.
