Global Safeguard Measures Clause Samples
The Global Safeguard Measures clause allows a country to temporarily restrict imports of certain goods to protect its domestic industries from serious injury caused by a sudden surge in imports. In practice, this may involve imposing tariffs, quotas, or other trade barriers on specific products when investigations show that increased imports are harming local producers. The core function of this clause is to provide a legal mechanism for countries to respond to unexpected market disruptions, thereby supporting domestic industries while maintaining compliance with international trade agreements.
