Veins and arteries are not classified by whether they carry oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor blood. They are classified according to whether they carry blood to the heart or away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart. So the pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart, which is why it is a vein. Also, the pulmonary artery, which carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs is an artery because it carries blood away from the heart.
