In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows MERCOSUR DG, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
MERCOSUR-based national rules govern road carriage, with IMDG and ICAO-TI for sea and air. Class 1 requires explosives approval; provincial routes, urban time windows, border paperwork and port acceptance can vary by shipment. The named primary authority is CNRT; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.
