When I try to import some of my organization's contacts, I get formatting errors, however nothing seems incorrect.

Here is an example line, for every record it says the same message

It says the State Province is incorrect, however every record has a correct 2 letter abbreviation for the state. I tried using the full state name to no avail

Thanks in advance

Can you replicate on the 2.1 sandbox with a small anonymized import file (1 or 2 rows would be sufficient). Assuming the validation error recreates - post back here with steps and attach your sample import file.
