Safeguard investigation procedures require public notice, party participation, evidence sharing, and termination when import thresholds are not met.

Initiation of a safeguard investigation under the India-Singapore Trade Agreement requires a public notice stating the article, date, reasons, supporting facts, and the time and address for representations, with copies and the application circulated to the Central Government, concerned ministries, known exporters, Singapore, and other interested parties. The investigation must be terminated if imports fall below the specified market-share thresholds, and the Director-General may call for written information, hear industrial users and consumer organisations, share evidence among parties, and rely on facts available where information is withheld or access is refused.
