Hong Kong Zip Code

Hong Kong Postal Code / Hong Kong Zip code

Postal codes are not utilized in Hong Kong, unlike in many other nations, because the Hong Kong Post considers it unnecessary to use one. The People's Republic of China's leading postal service, China Post, has assigned 999077 (9-series codes) as the Hong Kong postal code, though it is only occasionally used when sending mail from mainland China. Thus, Zip code 999077 is used for addressing. Because this code isn't utilized by China Post in Hong Kong, it is generally unknown.

Because Hong Kong is so small, postal codes have never been implemented because they offer little value to the already-efficient postal service. City officials once considered a post-code system for the city in 2000, but it was not implemented. To prevent mail from being delayed or lost, the Hong Kong Post suggests using the recipient's name, flat number, building character, house number, street, and village or district when addressing letters.

The name of a postal codes in Hong Kong is a series of 6-digits that is appended to an address to sort a post.

Why Postcode System is not adopted in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong's peoples don't use postcodes because of the following reasons:

1. Hongkong Post's automated letter sorting system is capable of recognising and sorting over 90% of postal items with printed or handwritten English addresses as well as printed Chinese addresses. It seems improbable that the introduction of postcodes would significantly improve postal operations' efficiency.

2. Other postal administrations' postcodes typically contain five to seven digits and identify all buildings serviced by mail delivery by district and street. If each of the three million local residential and business addresses is to be issued a unique and structured postcode, postcodes up to 15 digits in length may be required. As a result, the adoption of such a postcode system is inconvenient.
