About Milan

Milan sits at the meeting point of the A4 motorway running east-west between Turin and Venice and the A1 running south toward Bologna and Naples, putting Lombardy's fashion, automotive and machinery manufacturers one interchange away from the wider European road network. Milano Malpensa Airport handles close to 600,000 tonnes of air cargo a year, and the A7 motorway reaches Genoa's seaport in around 140 km, so freight landing or docking near Milan rarely needs a second city to reach the road network.

Milan's customs administration processes import and export declarations under the Union Customs Code and the Common Transit Convention for one of Europe's most varied cargo mixes - high-value fashion garments and luxury goods that need careful customs valuation, automotive components bound for Lombardy's parts plants, and industrial machinery moving out of the region's manufacturing belt. The Milano Smistamento rail yard sits alongside the road network as an intermodal sorting point, so freight can shift from truck to rail without leaving the hub. Fin Partner prepares the T1 transit document and the CMR at the Serbian load point, then tracks the closure through Milan's customs office so a fashion or automotive shipment isn't held for paperwork that should have travelled with the truck.
