Taxes, duties, or impositions, A duty on imported goods or merchandise. Story, Const. § 949, Tmpost is a tax received by the prince for such merchautlises as are broughtinto any haven within his dominions from foreign nations. It may in some sort ba distinguished from customs, because customs are rather that profit the prince maketh of wares shipped out; yet they are frequently confounded.
