The question

Is accepting a monetary gift from someone who was helped in solving a problem related to importing goods (due to a used part in them, which led to their confiscation and the imposition of a hefty tax, and the problem was solved by returning the goods and re-importing them after ensuring their quality) considered a bribe?

The answer

If the husband's consultation is part of his work and job at the port, then it is not permissible for him to accept a gift for it, because "gifts to workers are ghulūl (ill-gotten gain)"; so, gifts to an employee are forbidden if they are in exchange for him carrying out his job duties.
