Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Douanes is feminine. While the etymology tracing back through Italian "dogana" to Arabic "dīwān" is plausible, the gender assignment in French is better explained by the fact that "douane" was adopted as a feminine noun, likely due to the influence of the feminine ending "-ane" and analogy with other feminine nouns ending in "-ane" (such as "urbane," "profane"). The word's gender reflects French phonological and morphological patterns rather than purely the vagaries of borrowing.
