Hong Kong Area Code & Postal Code

* 999077 is not an official Hong Kong postal code — it is a generic placeholder used by mainland postal and e-commerce systems. Hongkong Post does not use postal codes; a complete address (building, block, floor, flat) is what matters.
Why does Hong Kong have no postal code?
Hong Kong is compact with a dense delivery network. Hongkong Post sorts mail by detailed street address, so a postal code was never introduced. For international mail, just put "Hong Kong" on the last line of the address.
Will using 999077 cause a lost parcel?
No. The number only lives in the seller's system; delivery relies on the address. Make sure the address is complete: estate/building, block, floor, flat and district. "N/A" or "000000" work equally well where allowed.
How should a mainland sender address a parcel to Hong Kong?
Format: Hong Kong + district + street number + building + block/floor/flat + recipient name + 8-digit phone. Example: "Flat A, 12/F, Block 3, New Town Plaza, 18 Sha Tin Centre Street, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, Chan Tai Man, 9123 4567".
Do Hong Kong numbers repeat?
No. All 8-digit numbers are unique territory-wide and are not assigned by district, so there are no local area codes; +852 is simply the country/region code.
