Can anyone explain how Harbor Fees work to me?

I am surmising - based upon what I've experienced in game - is that their availability and the amount are linked to specific provinces. For example, Great Britain starts the game with the island of Valetta and about $100 per month in Harbor Fees. Take that island away - like some mods such as The Gods or 1792 do - and the income generated by those fees goes away.

I've tried building any number of buildings in both vanilla and my modded games, but cannot generate the fees. So am I correct in assuming that they are only available from certain provinces?

Thanks for any help.
 
Read the game manual.
