What it means

Countries on the invoice must use two-letter ISO 3166-1 country codes, not country names or internal codes.

Typical causes

  • A country name was exported.
  • The United Kingdom was coded as UK instead of GB.

How to fix it

  1. Check the countries in the party and delivery addresses.
  2. Select their two-letter ISO codes, such as BE, NL, FR or GB.
What the rule says (technical)

Country codes in an invoice MUST be coded using ISO code list 3166-1 alpha-2.

Use a two-letter uppercase code: DE, FR, BE, NL… Note that the United Kingdom is GB, not UK.
