Classified unconventional trade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rated

'classified' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'unconventional trade' is the wordplay.
'unconventional' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trade' is an anagram of 'RATED'.

(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Assessed in trade" , "highly regarded" , "Was worthy of" , "Stormed" , "Scolded (archaic); assessed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
