The '''Douanes Limitanei''' ([[Ænglish]]: Border Customs) is the agency responsible for land-based border control and customs enforcement along the borders of the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. It works in close cooperation with the {{wp|maritime gendarmerie}} and maritime customs agency of [[Burgundie]], the [[Revenue Guard]].

It is a civilian law enforcement agency, operating under the authority of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Interior|Ministry of the Interior's]] [[Government_of_Burgundie#Security_Services_Bureau|Security Services Bureau]]. The agency is responsible for protecting [[Burgundie]]'s land borders from the illegal entry of people and goods, collecting customs duties and tariffs, and enforcing customs and immigration laws.

It is a civilian law enforcement agency, with 36,584 employees, operating under the authority of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Interior|Ministry of the Interior's]] [[Government_of_Burgundie#Security_Services_Bureau|Security Services Bureau]]. The agency is responsible for protecting [[Burgundie]]'s land borders from the illegal entry of people and goods, collecting customs duties and tariffs, and enforcing customs and immigration laws. Since the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] is within the [[Levantine Union]], which has the free movement of people and goods, most of the functions of the Douanes Limitanei are conducted via highway patrol, intelligence and investigation work, and {{wp|weigh station}} monitoring.

===First Fratricide and the early republic===

In 1849, with the start of the First Fratricide, Dantoine Marius, Duke of Bourgondi established the Capitaines della Guardacostes, simply calling them the Revenue Guard. In 1851, Dantoine used the Sergents della Marechaussee concept to make the Gendarmes d'elite della Gaurdie Real (Elite Gendarmes of the Royal Guard), removing the land-based responsibilities of the Revenue Guard and forming a gendarmerie based on the Custodes Yonderre after the reformation in 1833. At the end of the war, the newly acquired territories still maintained their individual forms of policing. In the 1921 Policing Reform Act policing was centralized and the various forms of gendarmeries, noble/royal guard units with law-enforcement responsibilities and regimental military policing units were consolidated into the Gendarmerie nacional.

===Marechaussee and colonial policing===

The establishment of the [[National Constabulary of Burgundie]] in [[1641]] led to a reorganization of the [[Revenue Guard]]. The Sergents della Marechaussee were separated from the [[Revenue Guard]] and became a separate organization, the Marechaussee. The Marechaussee was responsible for policing rural areas and maintaining order outside the cities, particularly on carriage ways and [[Holy Levantine Empire|imperial]] roads.

=== Founding and Early History ===

Formed in [[1148]] by the Triumverate Council the Revenue Guard was a royal institution commanded by a Lord Commandant who oversaw three Sergeants known as the ''Sergents della Maréchaussée'' (Sergeants of the Marshalcy), responsible for collecting taxes and arresting highwaymen, and three Captains known as the ''Capitaines della Guardacostes'' (Captains of the Coast Guard), responsible for collecting tariffs and suppressing smuggling and piracy. The revenue guard grew in size from its original 7 men to 156.

==Organization and structure==

The Douanes Limitanei is overseen by an Inspector-General ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Inspector General'') (OF-8) and seven Lieutenant Inspectors General ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Teniente Inspectores Generales'') one each for the seven units of the Douanes Limitanei:

*Limitanei: A brigade strength unit responsible for patrolling and maintaining the sovereignty of the borders of [[Burgoignesc Metropole]].

*Douanes: A brigade strength unit responsible for inspecting people and goods entering and leaving Burgundie.

*Investigations Directorate: Responsible for investigating customs fraud, smuggling, and trafficking.

*Intelligence and Risk Management Directorate: Responsible for collection and analysis of intelligence related to customs and border security.

*Interagency Coordination Directorate: Responsible for coordinating with other agencies and countries on customs and border security matters.

*Field Support Directorate: Responsible for the support, training, maintenance, and logistics of the Douanes Limitanei.

*Headquarters and Administration Directorate

===Interagency Coordination Directorate===

The Interagency Coordination Directorate works closely with the [[Revenue Guard]], as the two customs and border patrol agencies of [[Burgundie]]. The agency also works with international organizations, such as the [[Levantine Union]] (particularly their counterparts in [[Lapody]] and [[Urcea]]) and the [[League of Nations]] on information sharing, training, and investigations.
