Reply to comment by quetric in Why do sample return missions such as OSIRIS-REx use their own reentry vehicles instead of just going to the space station for pickup and return with ISS equipment? by PromptCritical725
Bear in mind though that any sample return would be coming in on a hyperbolic trajectory. Given the time scales involved the ∆v required to intercept the ISS would be negligible when compared to that needed to rendezvous.
