Safeguard definitions clarify domestic industry eligibility and thresholds for provisional measures against increased imports. Definitions fix scope and standing for safeguard investigations: the Director General is the investigating authority; increased imports includes absolute or relative rises from ASEAN member States; domestic industry means producers as a whole or those with a major share; interested parties include exporters, producers, importers, trade associations and exporting Governments. Serious injury is a significant overall impairment; threat of serious injury requires clear, fact based imminence; critical circumstances permit provisional measures to prevent irreparable damage. Undefined terms defer to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and the Customs Act, 1962.
