In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows DS 298, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
DS 298 governs road carriage, with IMDG and ICAO-TI for sea and air. Class 1 requires explosives authority approval; urban bypasses, mountain passes, tunnels, border crossings and port acceptance can impose route or timing limits. The named primary authority is MTT; 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.
