Hvis der er tale om ISO containere, f.eks. 20 eller 40 fods containere, er det egentligt ukorrekt at tale om returcontainere, idet det næppe er én og samme containere, der returneres til samme destination/kunde. Desuden hvis disse 'returcontainere' stuves med genbrugspap er det en ny forsendelse i sig selv, der kræver et nyt konnossement og andre forsendelsesdokumenter. Derfor er 'containers rebound' nok det, der beskriver "returneringen" bedst i dette tilfælde.
Og der kan ikke tales om 'returnable containers', hvis det drejer sig om ISO containere. En ISO container returneres højest til containerterminalen på havnen eller et andet containerdepot i samme havneby, hvor til den er losset/ankommet.
