I don't think you do. I build my org-latex-classes with add-to-list, so an
example of mine is:

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("MikeMcLean"
               "\\documentclass{MikeMcLean}
             [DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
             [PACKAGES]
             [EXTRA]
             "
               ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
               ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
               ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
               ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

The MikeMcLean document class (all of my 3-4 main classes, really) are a
moderate wrapper around the memoir class. A document I produce for myself
looks different than one that I produce as part of my employment or
volunteer effort(s), even though I produce them all from Org.

- Sets some class options
- Requires some packages I use a lot (minted, e.g.)
- Defines some fonts and colors.
- Sets page options (footers, chapter headers, sectioning, etc.)
- Defines a title page
