In short

What it means

Each ram:DesignatedProductClassification under a line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct may contain at most one direct ram:ClassName child. This rule does not require a name or limit the number of classification entries.

Why it matters

Each classification entry has space for no more than one class name. Repeated name elements exceed that limit even if they contain the same text or translations of the same label.

How to fix it

Check the label for the affected product classification. Choose the intended name and remove extra ram:ClassName elements from that ram:DesignatedProductClassification. You do not need to add a name solely for this rule. Export the file again and recheck it.
