UK Postcodes : British Overseas Territories


British Overseas Territories

Certain British Overseas Territories introduced single postal codes for their territory or major sub-sections of it. These are not UK postcodes, even though many are formatted in a similar fashion.

Mail to Overseas Territories is treated as international if posted in the UK.
