Dangerous goods: Transport


Who should I contact?

Depending on the type and quantity of goods being transported and the means of transport, various authorities at federal or state level are responsible.

The local regulatory authorities (municipalities) are responsible for monitoring businesses, while the district regulatory authorities (districts and cities) and the police are responsible for monitoring public transport areas (roads).

In Germany, the Ministry of the Environment is responsible for the transport of radioactive goods, unless other or federal authorities are responsible.

The local regulatory authorities (municipalities) are not only active in monitoring, but also provide advice and information.
