Cross-border countervailing investigations require advance notification and absence of objection from the host country before verification visits.

The designated authority may conduct investigations in another specified country to verify information or obtain further details in countervailing duty proceedings. Advance notification to the country concerned is required, and the investigation cannot proceed if that country objects. Investigations of a commercial organisation's premises and records additionally require the organisation's consent and notification, without objection, of the country where it is situated.
