How automated retrieval works
Standard Government Gateway authorisation
The same third-party access mechanism used by accountants and customs agents. No bespoke integrations, no API keys, no IT project. You authorise, we connect.
Optimised chunk-based retrieval
Rather than requesting everything at once, BorderAudit retrieves data in intelligent time-period segments — maximising completeness and preventing HMRC system timeouts.
30-day expiry protection
HMRC TRE reports expire after 30 days. Miss the window and the data is gone. Automated retrieval captures reports as they become available — zero data loss.
Continuous monitoring
New access grants are detected automatically. As your import activity continues, BorderAudit retrieves and processes new data without any manual intervention.
Data-first philosophy
Your customs data is retrieved and business records created before you've finished onboarding. By the time you reach your dashboard, analytics are already waiting.
Encrypted end-to-end
Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Processed on secure UK infrastructure. Full GDPR compliance. Your data is never shared with other users.
