Which way the goods move for the quote being requested. Qualifies the request, not the profile — profiles are shared across directions, and a return is priced from the same rate charts as an outbound shipment. Do not add this to ShippingProfile: every existing profile would become outbound-only and return quotes would silently match nothing. RETURN narrows the result to carriers that can produce a return label. OUTBOUND changes nothing.
