In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows UNRTDG 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 Transport; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.

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.
