Classify an Address Interactively

Notes:

• The Address Validation and Classification Tool classifies addresses as either residential or commercial. It does not classify Army Post Office (APO), Fleet Post Office (FPO) or Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) Ship To addresses.

• To classify the address automatically during shipment processing, set the Classify Ship To Residential/Commercial Address shipper preference. See the Preferences Tab in the Shipper Editor Window.

• To classify the address automatically when you validate an address, set the Classify Ship To Address system preference. See Set Miscellaneous System Preferences. The system preference does not apply to Canada addresses, which are not validated.
