No. Baarle-Hertog has one postal code (2387). Baarle-Nassau has Dutch
postal codes. Because postal code areas in the Netherlands are very
small (like in the UK), there are lots of them even in a relatively
small municipality like Baarle-Nassau. In other words: in the
Netherlands (and in the UK, and a few other countries), the postal
codes refer to the delivery addresses themselves (small groups of
houses, single streets, parts of streets), in Belgium (and lots of
other countries) they refer to the post office, from which delivery
is assured. Hence the difference in p.c. area size.

Apart from Buesingen, Campione d'Italia also has a Swiss postal code
(of course Buesingen has a German and Campione an Italian postal code
as well). As far as I know, this is for mail from Switzerland to the
enclaves, the mail being handled exclusively by the Swiss Mail.

The Swiss p.c. for Buesingen is 8238 (German p.c.: 78266)
The Swiss p.c. for Campione d'Italia is 6911 (Italian p.c.: 22060)

For the German mail, Buesingen is called Buesingen am Hochrhein.
