noted.





    Line Release is an automated system designed to release and tract 

repetitive shipments. It is a method of entry or immediate delivery 

extended to importers of merchandise which Customs deems to be 

repetitive and high volume. Line Release may be used only at locations 

approved by Customs for handling Line Release. At certain high-risk 

locations along the land borders of the United States (the locations to 

be published in the Federal Register), which are approved by Customs for 

handling Line Release, the use of Line Release for particular shipments 

may be denied by Customs unless the imported merchandise is transported 

by carriers that participate in the Land Border Carrier Initiative 

Program (see, subpart H of part 123 of this chapter).
