Extracting rent can be seen as private taxation. He's not a "career politician", so I'm trying to understand how he'd see it from the private realm.

An entry fee, a toll, a tax, a rent - whatever. In the end, the cost will be added to the products going in. It's not a usual tariff, but the outcome is the same. Maybe he thinks that this trickery helps avoid problems with "free trade" conventions.
