Serious injury assessment duties guide import safeguard investigations, findings, measure recommendations, duration, liberalisation, and review. The Director General must investigate whether increased imports of an originating good have caused or threatened serious injury to domestic industry due to reduction or elimination of customs duty under the Trade Agreement. The inquiry must consider objective and quantifiable factors, including import volume and rate, market share, sales, production, productivity, capacity utilisation, profits, losses, and employment. The Director General must submit findings to the Central Government, recommend an adequate bilateral safeguard measure, advise on duration and progressive liberalisation where needed, and review whether continuation is required.
