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.
Class 1 requires police authorization; bridge, tunnel and ferry operators may impose booking, segregation or route restrictions. Operational acceptance must be confirmed before dispatch. Written carrier and terminal confirmation is advisable before dispatch. The named primary authority is DEMA; 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.
