What it means
Checks a non-empty ram:CountryID in ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress against country code list 10. An empty value passes this test, which does not check whether a country must be supplied.
Why it matters
The country field uses standardised codes rather than country names or other abbreviations.
How to fix it
Correct ram:CountryID in the postal address under the final delivery recipient's ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization. Use an allowed country code, for example GB rather than UK for the United Kingdom. Do not confuse this address with the party's separate delivery address. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
