Quick Fix

For each party or location with address, check country against CL505 (e.g., countries like Ireland may not require postcodes). If in CL505, make postcode optional ("O"). If not, provide valid postcode ("R"). Ensure postcode format is an..9 or per national rules. Apply to all addresses in the declaration. Resubmit.
