Merci Dr Jones
neutral writeaway : due to comments, I double-checked your refs and they *all stem from a single Moroccan source text*. the world bank and IMF are all quoting the same source text. can you provide other refs???

My references are fro the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and World Bank... look like serious institutions aren't they ? and refer to Morocco & Senegal (two different countries). @Richard: droits de port does not specifically mean "customs duty"

writeaway, I mentioned " Le Droit de Porte est *essentiellement* composé de Droit de Douane (DO) " as a ref., spotting "essentiellement", precisely with the purpose of showing that "customs duties" was not precise enough.
Please refer to my refs in details, think they reply to each of your remarks
