Woocommerce Product import API uploads featured images

Question

My requirement is that I import products to my store using woocommerce API. I have multiple store setup so that I have placed my product images in CDN server. But the issue I am facing is when I import products using our tool it uploads images to server and set them in media library. I do not want it to be uploaded to media library. Just want it to use CDN image url so that it can work over multiple sites and product import timing also gets reduced. I have used Featured Image from Url plugin but want it to be included as product import option.

Can anyone guide me what should I do in this scenario.
