How to give this address

On a sign, a form or a delivery note

The whole code, #KJRH2-H1185. It needs nothing else: no city, no street, no network to read it back.

Said aloud, in Shandong

Copied by hand, or read over a phone

#KJRH2-H1185*8. The character on the end catches any single mistyped symbol and any two neighbours swapped.
