Returning to Milan from abroad: arranging your move

Returning in Milan after a period abroad does not mean repeating the starting move instead. Over time, furniture, family and Italian dwelling can be changed. It therefore needs a new inventory and an updated verification of both addresses.

DUDA Traslochi — Return from abroad in Milan: organize the move

Rebuild the current load

Start from the items present today in the foreign house, without automatically using the old list. Separate what you bring in Milan, what remains and what needs to reach another recipient. Please note the purchases made during the stay and the pieces that have changed configuration.

Photograph the furniture in the current conditions and collect the available instructions. A cabinet mounted by another operator can have components or fixations other than those reminded at the time of departure.

It keeps a separate list of the objects already in the Italian home. Putting it next to the inventory of the return helps to identify doubles and decide which furnishings are really useful, before engaging space on the trip.

Preparing the withdrawal in the country of origin

Indicates who opens the property, what steps can be used and what local agreements are necessary. If you leave the house before the load, arrange a contact person who knows the inventory and can distinguish your assets from those of the owner.

The delivery of the keys must be coordinated with all the required operations, including the dismantling. Do not consider the free house while still contains material to be selected or furniture whose destination has not been decided.

Check the house of Milan

Even when you return to a known home, it controls access and spaces. The elevator may not be available on the desired date, or the planned room may contain furniture remaining in Italy. Ask for up-to-date photos and define the layout before arrival.

To stop and access the vehicle, check the road conditions and the procedures applicable. Do not rely on what had been arranged years before: the plan must refer to concrete delivery.

Keep separate personal and cargo travel

Bring the necessary documents and objects with you in the first days, especially if the delivery of the furniture does not coincide with your arrival. An autonomous equipment avoids depending on the immediate opening of each neck.

If the return requires customs formalities, collect documents before departure and check the situation with the relevant contact person. The rules depend on the country of origin and the personal case: a previous export does not automatically solve all the fulfillments of the new journey.

Request a proposal on the complete project

For a DUDA assessment, it communicates place of withdrawal abroad, Milan address, inventory, plans and availability windows. Specify any items to leave temporarily in desired storage and fittings. An updated request allows you to distinguish the return of the person from the transfer of the furniture and to coordinate the two needs without relying on information that has already been exceeded or to a simple reversal of the old process.
