Suppress Duplicate Classification Processing

This Optional Feature, when enabled, will instruct the application to  process only the essential classification files required to maintain classification descriptions and notes. Redundant language-independent files are skipped, helping to reduce duplicate processing activity and unnecessary updates.  The enhancement also prevents the “Detect Invalid Classification” process from running during partial data loads, where it is not required. This helps reduce background processing and minimizes system load during large or frequent classification updates.

When you load Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification content that includes multiple language-specific ZIP files, prior to this Optional Feature, the application processed duplicate classification data multiple times during partial data loads. This could trigger unnecessary downstream updates and repeatedly invoke validation processes, increasing system activity and creating avoidable performance overhead.

Business Benefit: This enhancement streamlines how HTS classification content is handled during partial data loads. When you enable the new optional feature, the application processes only the essential classification files required to maintain classification descriptions and notes. Redundant language-independent files are skipped, helping reduce duplicate processing activity and unnecessary updates.

Steps to enable and configure

If you need to change the Opt In state for this feature:

• Go to the Optional Feature UI via Configuration and Administration > Property Management > Optional Features.

You must have the DBA.ADMIN user role to use this functionality.

• Select the Suppress Duplicate Classification Processing feature.
• Run the desired Action for the feature - Opt In or Opt Out.

Tips and considerations

• This feature applies specifically to partial data loads of HTS classification content.
• When enabled, only the required MASTER and PARTS classification files are processed during partial loads.
• Language-independent duplicate files are intentionally skipped to reduce unnecessary updates.
• The “Detect Invalid Classification” process is not triggered during partial data loads when this feature is enabled.
• Full data loads continue to follow standard processing behavior.
• Organizations that load multilingual HTS content may see the greatest performance improvement.
• Consider enabling this feature before large quarterly or high-volume classification update activities to help reduce processing load.
