Safeguard measure commencement turns on Gazette notification, with provisional measures taking effect from their earlier imposition date.

The commencement of a safeguard measure is generally the date of publication of the notification in the Official Gazette imposing it. However, where a provisional safeguard measure has been imposed and the Director General has recorded a finding that increased imports have caused or threaten to cause serious injury to the domestic industry, the notification must specify that the safeguard measure takes effect from the date of imposition of the provisional safeguard measure.
