When it happens
A line combines an exemption_reason with a regime_key that cannot go with it. Exports (EXENTA_ART_21 and EXENTA_ART_22), for example, use regime 02.
How to fix it
Use the regime key the exemption requires, or omit regime_key so the server picks it.
Retry
Not as is: the same request fails the same way. Fix the cause described above, then send the request again, under a new Idempotency-Key if the body changed.
