Safeguard investigation initiation hinges on evidence of increased imports, serious injury, and a causal link to duty reduction. Initiation of a safeguard investigation requires a written application by or on behalf of a domestic producer, supported by evidence of increased imports, serious injury or threat of serious injury, and a causal link between duty reduction or elimination under the Trade Agreement and the increase in imports. The application must also include a statement of efforts taken or planned to adjust to import competition. The Director-General may initiate an investigation only after being satisfied that sufficient evidence exists, and may also do so suo motu on information from customs officers or other sources.
