Country information
Let’s explore some of the basics. China’s address format for shipping or mailing messages should be written this way:
- Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles like "先生 (xiānsheng)" (Mr.) or for women, their full name followed by "女士 (nǚshì)" (Mrs.).
- SubBuilding and building name - The sub-building name goes here, followed by the building name. They should be included in that order without separating punctuation.
- Dependant locality and street name - Include the dependent locality and street name without separating punctuation.
- Postal code and locality - Again, on a new line, include the postal code, followed by the locality without any separating punctuation. (I’m noticing a theme here…)
- Country - Write "CHN" in all caps on the last line.
