Why this rule existsrationale
How to fix itremediation
Import the token onto the brand before registering any campaign under it. If campaigns already exist, deactivate them, complete the import, then register them again. Done when the import lands on a US non-profit brand with no 501(c) status and no active campaigns.
A compliant exampleexample
entity_type: NON_PROFIT · country: US · tax_exempt_status: (none) · active campaigns: 0 — then import the token
Common mistakespitfalls
- Deactivating a campaign to unblock the import means re-registering it afterwards, and the second registration is reviewed like any other.
