Should I change CSC?

[Hosein]

Recently my company assigned me to a new role so I am moving to Europe and particularly Italy.

My device CSC is set to United Arab Emirates (Even though I am not in UAE at all) and I wanted to change it to EUX which is specifically for western side of Europe. 

I noticed here that my device CSC can be set to Italy as well: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S921B

Here's the question, which one should I choose in first place?

Considering that I am mostly staying in Italy, shouldn't I flash the firmware with italian CSC?

More importantly is it advised to change it from XSG to EUX or TIM (Italy CSC)?

I know how to do it with Odin but isn't it better to ask Samsung customer service for that?

Thanks in advance

I have traded in imported devices a couple of times.
Was a few years ago now.
But if they accept the IMEI number
Then it shouldn't be an issue

Maybe buy a cheap back up device or use something older that you still have at home and use this phone in Italy if it's not blocked to a network provider. In the UK most phones issued by Samsung are EU CSC. Phones bought within Europe and used within Europe work. You might want to check with Italy Samsung forum and do a little research ar it might be different there to what might work and what might not, sometimes phones rules are different there and my advice is that you don't want to be caught by surprise with an expensive phone in your pocket that you might not be able to use or sell. Eventhough it might be more headache where you are now, it might be easier to sell your phone there and buy a new one in Europe. Just my opinion. If you are not permanently moving, just get a cheap device or use one of your older ones as I already said, as its not worth the hassle.

As other comments have stated other solutions I will simply add- absolutely no not try alter your phones original anything. You risk breaking it

I am not permanently moving to Italy but my stay will be at least for 5 years.

I actually might take your advice, I keep this one as is right now and if it was eligible for trade in, I will trade it with S25 maybe or S25 FE which is rumored to be out by September. It's eay cheaper than original S25 amd honestly I am not gonna use it for camera. I want to make calls only.

That sounds like a good plan, but please check on the Italian side first if it's eligible to trade in. You can call Samsung for that to be sure. It's just a safety measure.
