    Country information

    Let’s explore some of the basics. Hong Kong’s address format for shipping or mailing messages should be written this way:

    1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles like "先生" (Mr.) or for women, their full name followed by "女士" (Mrs.).
    2. SubBuilding, building name - The sub-building name goes here with a comma, followed by the building name. They should be included in that order.
    3. The house number and street name - Include the house number and street name without separating punctuation.
    4. Dependant locality - On a new line, write the dependent locality, if applicable.
    5. Locality and administrative area - Again, on a new line, include the locality followed by the administrative area without any separating punctuation.
    6. Country - Write "HKG" in all caps on the last line.
