What it means
For each ram:PostalTradeAddress under the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery/ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty, this check allows zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName child. It does not check the region's wording.
Why it matters
The Extended profile provides one region field within this address. Repeated elements exceed that structural limit.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or province recorded in the affected final recipient's address. Retain the correct value in a single ram:CountrySubDivisionName, or omit the field if you do not need it. Remove additional occurrences within that ram:PostalTradeAddress, then export and recheck.
