How an address is written in Zambia

This is the order Zambia's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[Postal code (50100)] [City]
ZAMBIA

A postal code is optional in Zambia addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.
