Sec.  142.45  Use of bar code by entry filer.



    (a) Printing of C-4 Code. Upon receipt of an approved Line Release 

application, the entry filer, in accordance with instructions from the 

port director, shall preprint invoices with the C-4 Code in bar code and 

alpha-numeric format or print labels with the necessary information. Bar 

codes shall be printed in accordance with the specifications stated in 

Customs Publication 561 (Line Release Overview). Labels or preprinted 

invoices also shall state the name of the shipper or manufacturer of the 

product and the name of the importer of record, if other than the entry 

filer, above the bar code and the name of the entry filer and a product 

description below the bar code.

    (b) Multiple commodity processing. Multiple commodity processing 

allows more than one product to be released under one entry number. The 

shipper/manufacturer, importer of record and the entry filer must be the 

same. The product description is the only variable allowed. The 

commodities should be listed on one invoice with C-4 Code labels for 

each commodity attached to the invoice.

    (c) Distribution of labels. If labels are used, the labels shall be 

affixed to the invoices in accordance with instructions from the port 

director. The entry filer may either affix the labels or distribute the 

labels to the shippers/manufacturers and instruct them in the use and 

placement of the labels.
