D32  Agricultural special safeguard

Agricultural special safeguard allows the imposition of an additional tariff in response to a surge in imports or a fall in import prices.  The specific trigger levels for volume or price of imports are defined at the country level.  In the case of the volume trigger, the additional duties only apply until the end of the year in question.  In the case of price triggers, the additional duty is imposed on a shipment by shipment basis.
