Bilateral safeguard measure can suspend tariff cuts or raise duties to MFN levels to prevent serious injury and aid adjustment. The Central Government may amend customs notifications to suspend tariff reductions or increase customs duty for an originating good, up to MFN applied rates, on the Director General's recommendation to prevent serious injury and facilitate adjustment. Bilateral safeguards cannot be imposed where domestic customs tariff safeguards apply; existing bilateral safeguards must be terminated before domestic measures are imposed. On termination, duties revert to the Trade Agreement rate as if no bilateral safeguard had been applied. If no recommendation is made, any provisional bilateral safeguard must be withdrawn within the prescribed period after the final finding.
