Consolidate first, then ship home
Returns that must go home should travel together. One export shipment of fifty units costs a fraction of fifty parcels, and it produces one set of export documents instead of fifty.
The cost case
Consolidated air freight is priced by weight and volume, not per parcel. Units held in U.S. inventory for a few weeks until a batch is ready almost always come out cheaper than express postage on arrival.
The drawback case
A drawback claim needs proof of export for every unit. One consolidated shipment gives you one airway bill, one commercial invoice and one packing list that cover the whole batch, each line matched to an import entry. Fifty separate parcels mean fifty separate proofs to chase.
Boomerang builds the commercial invoice and packing list from the units you select, checks whether an export filing is needed, and attaches the export proof to each unit's record for the claim.
