4. Store What You Don’t Need Immediately
If you’re going home for the summer or studying abroad, carrying all your belongings (like bulky winter clothes or extra books) can be inconvenient. Instead, consider storage solutions. Storing non-essential items can save you time and effort during future moves. CML Cargo provides safe and affordable options for temporary storage.
5. Understand Customs Regulations for International Moves
If you’re relocating to another country, customs regulations can be tricky. Some countries have restrictions on certain items, including:
- Electronics
- Liquids and toiletries
- Food and perishables
Before shipping, check local regulations to avoid unexpected delays. Visit our guides to moving abroad for European countries for essential tips, and let CML Cargo help you navigate customs smoothly.
6. Keep Important Items With You
Always carry your essentials, including:
- Important documents (passport, university letters, ID).
- Medications and prescriptions.
- Electronics and chargers.
Having these items with you makes sure you’re prepared, even if your baggage takes longer to arrive.
7. Use Tracking for Peace of Mind
