What is the average cross-border return rate by category?

Cross-border return rates average 2.8% overall but vary dramatically by category. Fashion and apparel: 25-80% on marketplaces (size/fit issues drive bracketing behaviour). Home and garden: typically under 5%. Beauty: generally low. The key insight is that category composition matters more than being 'cross-border' per se.
