In short

Dangerous-goods transport follows ADR, RID, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.

Road carriage follows ADR and rail carriage follows RID, while sea and air consignments use IMDG and ICAO-TI through national law. Class 1 requires explosives-law approval, and operators must check tunnel categories, local routes, border controls and port or airport acceptance before dispatch. The named primary authority is TDT; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.

What governs each mode

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.
