Upload the paperwork. Get verified evidence.
BorderAudit’s AI reads the documents behind your imports — supplier invoices, statements on origin, preference certificates — extracts every field that matters, and cross-references each one against your customs declarations. In seconds.
Your compliance position lives in documents nobody has read.
The evidence lives in inboxes, not entries
Supplier invoices sit with the freight forwarder, origin statements in someone's email, certificates as scans on a shared drive. None of it is connected to the declarations it's supposed to support.
Nobody has checked what the documents say
The declaration states a value, a commodity code and an origin. Whether the invoice, the origin statement and the certificate actually agree with it has usually never been tested.
HMRC queries want document-level proof, fast
When His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tests a preference claim or queries an entry, you need the exact documents matched to the exact declaration — in days, not weeks.
From a folder of files to linked evidence, in six stages.
Each document type triggers its own extraction and validation pipeline, matched to the requirements of the relevant trade agreement — and every verified field ends up attached to the declaration it supports.
- 01 · INGESTUpload anythingDrag and drop PDFs, scans or photographed paperwork — supplier invoices, statements on origin, certificates. Multi-page documents are handled automatically.
- 02 · EXTRACTEvery field, readLayout-aware AI extraction — not raw optical character recognition (OCR) — pulls invoice numbers, dates, values, parties and origin statements, each with a field-level confidence score.
- 03 · CROSS-REFERENCEChecked against your declarationsExtracted values are compared with your HMRC declaration data: invoice value against declared customs value, supplier against consignor, description against commodity code.
- 04 · VALIDATETested against the agreementOrigin statement wording is checked against the text the trade agreement prescribes, Registered Exporter (REX) numbers are validated against the live EU registry, and value thresholds are applied.
- 05 · FLAGDiscrepancies, explainedVerified fields are marked as such. Mismatches and missing data are flagged with a specific explanation of what's wrong and why it matters — before HMRC finds it.
- 06 · LINKEvidence, attached to the entryVerified documents are linked to the declarations they support — ready to stand behind preference claims, reclaim packs and audit responses.
Documents stop being files. They start being proof.
Once read and verified, each document is linked to the declarations it supports. Every preference claim carries its proof of origin; every value has its invoice; every reclaim has its evidence pack — and when HMRC asks, the answer is already assembled.

The discrepancies HMRC would find. Found first.
Every document, read.
How BorderAudit reads the documents behind an import entry — extracting every field, cross-referencing against the declaration, and flagging the discrepancies that matter.
One evidence base. Three places it works.
Document intelligence isn’t a silo — it’s the evidence layer under the rest of the platform. What you upload once works everywhere it’s needed.
Origin & Preference Audit
Verified origin proofs close the evidence gaps HMRC tests. In 2.3 million textile declaration lines we analysed, 53% of preference claims had gaps — documents are where they close.
Audit your preference claims →Duty Reclaim
Every reclaim needs an evidence pack behind it. Verified, declaration-linked documents are what carry a claim through — duty is generally reclaimable up to three years from entry.
See how reclaims are built →HMRC Audit
Under a compliance check, every sampled declaration gets an evidence checklist. A document base that's already read, verified and linked is the difference between days and weeks.
Manage an HMRC audit →Evidence checked at scale, not spot-checked.
