Bilateral safeguard findings require injury, causal link, and recommended measures to prevent or remedy serious injury.

Final findings in a bilateral safeguard investigation require the Director General to determine whether increased imports of the originating good have caused or threatened serious injury and whether a causal link exists between those imports and the injury or threat arising from customs duty reduction or elimination under the Trade Agreement. The Director General must recommend the safeguard measure, its duration, and progressive liberalisation where the period exceeds one year, and the final findings must state the facts, law, reasons, and be notified to the relevant governments.
