📋 Postal Guidelines: China to Spain
Postal items dispatched from Mainland China to Spain do not require a Spain postal code for international transit.
The destination country (Spain) 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 Spain, the complete delivery address must be legibly written in the local language (English or local language).
Including the correct local Spain postal code is strongly recommended. This significantly enhances sorting efficiency at Spain Post and optimizes last-mile delivery by postal carriers.
