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