In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows UNRTDG, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
National rules aligned with UNRTDG govern land transport, with IMDG and ICAO-TI for sea and air. Class 1 requires security and explosives authorization; escorts, approved routes, port or airport acceptance and changing security restrictions are material. The named primary authority is Ministry of Transport; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.
What governs each mode

- Air ICAO-TI
- National rules UNRTDG
Derived from the frameworks named above. A mode absent from this list is not necessarily closed — it means the sheet does not record a framework governing it here, which is itself worth asking about.
