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