In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows ADR, IMDG, ICAO-TI and CAR VI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
Road carriage follows emirate and federal dangerous-goods controls broadly aligned with ADR, while IMDG and CAR VI or ICAO-TI govern sea and air. Class 1 import or transit needs Ministry of Interior approval, often with advance notice, escorts and terminal clearance. The named primary authority is MOEI; 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.
