In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows UNRTDG, SMGS Annex 2 and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
Domestic road and rail carriage is governed by national rules generally aligned with UNRTDG, while air freight follows ICAO-TI; there is no domestic sea leg. Class 1 requires a separate explosives, police or defence approval, and border corridors, escorts, route limits and terminal acceptance should be arranged in advance. The named primary authority is Ministry of Road and Transport Development; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.
