SE-R-006
For Swedish suppliers, only standard VAT rate of 6, 12 or 25 are used
What does this rule mean?
A Swedish seller uses a VAT rate other than 6, 12 or 25 per cent.
Those are the Swedish standard rates; a different rate almost always signals a data-entry error.

Where the rule applies
Syntax: CII · UBL
The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.
