There are custom brokers who specialize in these regulations and can advise as to the best method/timing and the proceeding and classification to make the declaration under to minimize your duty exposure.
I get that. I was just confused because the advice about "goods to follow" in this thread doesn't seem to fit the situation where the OP is talking about sending his stuff back before he comes back. If you are able to ship stuff back under your exemption, what's to stop that person from also bringing stuff back and claiming that under their exemption? Surely that system can't just rely on the honour system?
