General Restrictions

General Restrictions are limitations and regulations placed on the movement of goods or cargo, particularly in the context of transportation and shipping. These restrictions are often imposed by governments, international organizations, or industry bodies and are designed to ensure safety, security, and compliance with various legal and environmental standards. 

General restrictions often include maximum weight and size limits for cargo, vehicles, and containers. These limits are in place to prevent overloading and ensure safe transportation on roads, railways, and vessels. Many of these restrictions govern the transport of hazardous materials, such as chemicals, explosives, and flammable substances. These regulations dictate how these materials should be labeled, packaged, and transported to minimize the risk of accidents or environmental damage. 

Furthermore, some goods may require specific licenses or permits for import or export. Compliance with these regulations is crucial to avoid legal consequences and delays in shipping.
