Effective Addressing for International Mail
This document tries to describe – or invent when necessary – conventions for
addressing postal mail from within the USA to other countries that are both (a)
effective (i.e. have a good chance of working), and (b) as inoffensive as
possible when addressing choices might be controversial. Note that the general
problem – how to address mail from country A to country B, for all A's and B's –
is an n × n problem, of which this document attempts to address only one
dimension: mail from the USA to elsewhere. But even this is a moving target as
addressing guidelines and formats of each country are constantly revised.
