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

The Director General must make final findings within the prescribed time on whether increased imports of the originating good have caused or threatened serious injury to the domestic industry and whether that injury is linked to the reduction or elimination of customs duty under the trade agreement. The Director General must also recommend the safeguard measure, its duration, and, where the period exceeds one year, progressive liberalisation at regular intervals. Affirmative findings must state the facts, law and reasons, and must be notified to the relevant governments.
