¿Por qué es feminine?

Alfândegas is feminine because it derives from the Arabic "al-funduq" (the inn/warehouse), which entered Portuguese through Medieval trade contacts, and the word was feminized following the pattern of Portuguese nouns ending in "-a." The feminine gender stuck despite its foreign origin, likely because the "-a" ending strongly signals feminine nouns in Romance languages.
