Usage notes
- For import/export charges, dazio is common; tariffa often means a rate or fee, not specifically a customs duty.
- Usually appears in the plural in trade contexts: dazi doganali. Singular is common for one specific duty.
- In modern usage, dogana is the customs office/border control; dazio is the charge, not the place.
