Hazardous goods separation: prescribed minimum distances and specific safety rules determine storage and handling obligations. Prescribes safety guidelines for premises handling imported or exported goods, treating explosives as a distinct category with an extended separation from administrative buildings and prescribing a uniform separation for other hazardous goods; storage separation between hazardous and general cargo in port areas must follow the IMDG Code. For land storage in container depots, CFS/ICD and customs areas, specific statutory rules (such as those for gas cylinders, explosives, petroleum and pressure vessels) govern safe distances and, in case of conflict, specific rules prevail over port rules.
