How to fix it
- Split the file into several files under 15 MB, keeping every row of a product in the same file, and import them one at a time.
- Repeat the header row at the top of each file.
Once the listed rows are fixed, check the file again; the checker also looks for every other problem Shopify documents, so you do not trade one error for the next.
