Bilateral safeguard measures are time-limited to prevent injury, with capped extensions and strict reapplication restrictions. Limits on bilateral safeguard measures require that suspension of concessions continue only for the period necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and facilitate adjustment. A measure may not exceed two years from imposition, though it may be extended once for up to two more years, with a total maximum duration of four years. For an originating good, the measure ends with the transition period, and reapplication is barred for one year after expiry and must be for a shorter duration than the previous measure.
