  This contribution covers three recent results on deep-inelastic scattering at
HERA: (i) new measurements of the proton longitudinal structure function $F_L$
from H1 and ZEUS experiments, (ii) a dedicated NC cross section measurement
from ZEUS in the region of high Bjorken $x$, and (iii) preliminary combination
results of all HERA inclusive data published up to now by H1 and ZEUS, taking
into account the experimental correlations between measurements.
