CDS71262Licence Error: Document Status Code "EA" can only be declared on Type Y declaration
HMRC explanation
What to check across the Licence and document errors
A licence or document is the wrong type for the declaration, already used, exhausted, inactive, or declared inconsistently across the goods items. Check the licence type, its status and balance, and that every instance on the declaration uses the same details.
A declaration that clears CDS can still be wrong
