About Greenland Postal System

POST Greenland, operating under the brand Tusass, manages all postal and telecommunications services across this autonomous territory. The Greenlandic postcode system is integrated with the Danish postal system but utilizes a specific four-digit range to cover its vast, sparsely populated regions. Given the unique geography, these codes are vital for coordinating air and sea mail distribution to remote coastal settlements.
