The History of Russian Customs
The current Russian word for Customs, tamozhnya, originated in the times of
the Mongol-Tatar yoke. The word tamga, in Tatar, meant “ a Customs tax, the
official who collected it, and the stamped seal or statement verifying that it had
been paid”.
Each market had its tamozhnya, and the right to collect duties could be purchased
from the State. This right was often acquired by powerful merchants.
