There is a great source of information on:

http://www.upu.int/post_code/en/addressing_formats_guide.shtml

But it also shows how difficult the actual situation is. Even if you're
sending to the same addressee the format is depending on the origin from
where it is sent. Refer to:

http://www.upu.int/post_code/en/formatting_international_address_en.pdf

If you're interested I can post the structure of Mozilla address book.
It seems to be sufficent for my needs.
