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