Chad Address Format
Chad follows the French small-to-large convention: recipient, then a BP (P.O. Box) line or a street/quartier line, then the city, then the country. Most urban mail goes to post office boxes run by the Societe Tchadienne des Postes et de l'Epargne (STPE); the UPU-recommended layout writes the city in capitals above the country name. Limited public documentation on street-level conventions beyond the UPU example.
