What it means
Within ram:BuyerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress in the header trade agreement, this rule permits zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName child element. It checks the number of elements, not their text.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows this part of the address only once. Duplicate region elements exceed that limit even if they contain the same name.
How to fix it
Check ram:CountrySubDivisionName in the buyer's legal organisation address. Keep the correct region, state or province name in one element and remove the extra elements. If you do not need a region name, remove them all. Recheck your corrected file.
