10 - Wait for 24 hrs. 

If you are getting Shipping Setting error for all of your products, complete the above-given settings and wait for 24 hrs to get those errors removed from the diagnostics page.

11 - Shipping Settings for Additional Countries. 

Shipping settings of Additional Countries follow the same process as given above.

You have to repeat the process given above for each additional country of target. So, you are adding 5 more countries while using additional country submission feature of the app. Make sure you set up shipping for all the additional countries. 
But, the only point to keep in mind is Shipping Setting Currency. Shipping Price Currency must be the same for all the additional countries and that should be your store's default currency and not the currency of targeting country.
