Import/Export Classification

Click the New Global Classification button. The resulting page records Import/Export HTS and Schedule B information.

Hazardous

This section identifies whether the freight forwarding order line is considered hazardous and allows you to supply transactional hazardous data at the order level instead of using the Hazardous Material Manager. The information defaults from the Hazardous Material page and the Hazardous Item page, with the Hazardous Item data taking precedence.

During planning, Oracle Transportation Management first considers this Hazardous flag, then the packaged item to determine whether a shipment is hazardous.
