# Customer import country codes

> Look up the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to enter in the countryCode column when importing customers into bitbybit.

When you import customers with the bulk import template, the **countryCode** column expects an **ISO 3166-1 alpha-2** country code — a two-letter code such as `ID`, `SG`, or `US`. Enter the code, not the full country name: a value like `Indonesia` or `Singapore` will not sync.

<Note>
  Country codes are always **two uppercase letters**. If a customer's country is unknown, leave the cell empty — blank cells do not affect the rest of the import.
</Note>

## How to read a country code

* The code is the **alpha-2** value from the ISO 3166-1 standard (for example, `ID` for Indonesia).
* Codes are case-insensitive on import, but the template uses uppercase for consistency.
* One code maps to one country. Use the country where the customer is located.

## Finding a code that is not listed

This table covers the most common markets. For any country, use its two-letter code from the official ISO 3166-1 standard:

* [ISO 3166 Online Browsing Platform](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search) — the authoritative source, searchable by country name.
* [Country codes list (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3)](https://www.iban.com/country-codes) — the full list in one table; use the **Alpha-2 code** column.
