It’s the same for all goods globally: If you are not in a hurry, the energy / co2 cost of getting it from a local warehouse to your house (optionally through a store) dwarfs the cost of shipping it via freight around the planet.

If you are in a hurry, then you need to ship via air, and then producing locally might help. (It depends on the gap between the efficiency of local production vs. the most favorable location on earth).
