How to fix FedEx “Address too long” errors for Hong Kong

When sending shipments to Hong Kong, FedEx only accepts 2 street lines of up to 35 characters each. If your address concatenation pushes either line past that limit, you’ll receive a “One or more address lines are too long” error.

In many cases, the culprit is the province/region field— you can either omit it entirely or replace the full name with a 2-letter code.

1. Omit or shorten the region field

Instead of “Hong Kong”, “New Territories” or “Kowloon” in your Province line, use one of these two-letter region codes or leave it blank:

2. Keep each street line ≤ 35 characters

If a line is still too long, apply common English abbreviations:

Following these steps will keep both street lines within FedEx limits and prevent the “address too long” error when shipping to Hong Kong.
