What it means
Each ram:PostalTradeAddress directly inside ram:ShipFromTradeParty may contain zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName element. The check counts elements, not the names written inside them.
Why it matters
The EXTENDED profile provides a single optional region field in this address. Repeating that field does not match its address structure.
How to fix it
Remove extra ram:CountrySubDivisionName elements from ram:ShipFromTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress, keeping the one that describes your address. You can omit this element if you do not need a region. Export and recheck your file.
