Create a shipping class [Bulky] for products over [15] kg or longer than [100] cm. Export my products with weight and dimensions and list those that fit. After my approval, put them in the class. Then tell me where I set the extra cost for this class, since I'll do that myself.

If SAR is already in your AI app, this is enough:
Create the shipping class [Bulky] and put every product over [15] kg or [100] cm in it.
What happens
- The AI app lists your shipping classes and creates the new one. Nothing changes for customers until a product and a method use it.
- It exports your products with weight and dimensions and lists those over your limits.
- Each product moved into the class waits for your approval in SAR; the previous value is kept and can be restored.
- The cost per shipping class is set on the zone's flat rate in WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping; SAR does not change it, so you do that step there.
