Building xml file for amazon product feed

So I'm trying to build a feed to submit to amazon, and it tells me I need a country of origin field.

From what I researched I have it in the right place, but I still get an error. I have tried placing it in multiple locations in the xml file and nothing works.

Here is the error:

XML Parsing Error at Line 39, Column 22: cvc-complex-type.2.4.d: Invalid content was found starting with element 'CountryOfOrigin'

Here is the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I've just encountered similar problems to you, not helped by the Amazon web site naming the field a selection of ways; You are correct with 'CountryOfOrigin', as you have no doubt found by now.
After much searching through XSD files on the web site, and experimenting by submitting files, I found putting it as the last entry in the < DescriptionData > section of the XML worked; In XML format, it also needs the two letter Country code (eg CN for China), as not mentioned anywhere on the Amazon website.
