01 / The route

The journey from Milan to Singapore

The volume of belongings and the customer's priorities guide the choice between a sea freight container and air freight via Changi. The contact in Italy coordinates the agreed stages with partners in Singapore.

  • The survey assesses furniture, volume, fragile items and any dismantling required.
  • Collection and delivery dates are coordinated with the availability of both homes.
02

Apartment buildings and detached homes

  • Marina Bay, Orchard and River Valley: obtain building rules, working hours and any deposits required by management.
  • Sentosa Cove and Bukit Timah: check property access and vehicle entry controls.
  • Agree lift bookings and protection for lobbies, walls and floors.
03

Packing and inventory

The humid climate calls for an assessment of packing and planned stops. Moisture barriers and custom crates can be specified for wood, textiles and delicate items, with applicable wooden-packaging requirements checked.

  • List the belongings to be transported and identify any particularly valuable items.
  • Label packages and keep the components of dismantled furniture together.
04

Documents, parking and permits

Any GST relief for used personal belongings depends on Singapore Customs requirements. For unaccompanied shipments, the Declaration of Facts and the procedure are checked before the goods arrive. Restricted categories must be declared before shipment.

05

Delivery, assembly and storage between homes

Unpacking, placement, assembly and removal of packing materials are agreed with the local service provider. It helps to define these steps before booking a delivery space in the building.

If your new home is not ready, you can request furniture storage in Milan. The storage period, conditions and subsequent delivery are agreed before collection.

06

A quote tailored to the route

Send the addresses, preferred dates and photographs or an inventory of your furniture. The quote should specify the work included and any services provided by local partners.

  • Required transport, packing, dismantling and assembly.
  • Any shuttle vehicles, furniture lifts, permits and storage charges.
  • Applicable cover, limits, excesses and exclusions to check in the service documents.
Helpful answers

Before you move,
let’s make things clear.

Is GST relief automatic when I move?

No. Singapore Customs assesses the requirements for the move and the goods. The documentation and applicable procedure must be checked before the shipment arrives.

Can the survey take place by video call?

You can request an initial video assessment by providing images of your furniture and access points. Any technical details that remain unclear must be checked before confirmation.

Can I also request furniture dismantling?

Yes, dismantling and reassembly can be agreed in the quote. Bespoke furniture or alterations require photographs, measurements and a technical assessment.

What if my new home is not ready?

We can assess furniture storage in Milan and schedule delivery for a later date, agreeing the duration, conditions and costs.

What affects the price of a move?

It depends on volume, transport method, access, packing, assembly and additional services. The quotation follows an assessment of your specific move.
