What it means
This rule checks a non-empty ram:CountryID under ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress against the profile's country code list. An empty string passes this test. FX-SCH-A-000779 separately checks the number of country elements.
Why it matters
The legal organisation address uses a defined country code so software can interpret its country consistently.
How to fix it
Check the country of the seller's separate legal organisation address. Set ram:CountryID in ram:PostalTradeAddress inside ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization under ram:SellerTradeParty to the corresponding allowed upper-case two-letter code. Correct this separate address rather than the seller's main postal address. Export the file again and recheck it.
