📋 Postal Guidelines: China to Chile
Postal items dispatched from Mainland China to Chile do not require a Chile postal code for international transit.
The destination country (Chile) must be clearly indicated in Chinese characters on the mail item. The complete destination address, including city and detailed street address, must also be provided in Chinese.
To facilitate final delivery within Chile, the complete delivery address must be legibly written in the local language (English or local language).
Including the correct local Chile postal code is strongly recommended. This significantly enhances sorting efficiency at Chile Post and optimizes last-mile delivery by postal carriers.
