Morphology
The meaning 'a tax on goods being transported out of a country' is directly and compositionally derived from 'export' (to send goods out of a country) and 'duty' (a government tax). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun export duty comes from a simple image: when goods are sent out of a country someone has to pay a fee. Here export means sending goods out and duty means a government 'fee' or 'tax', so export duty means 'a tax on goods being transported out of a country'.
