Yes, it still does get shipped a lot of places though. For example,"float glass" is not manufactured in New Zealand - no windows have been made there for 25 years, every single one is imported. It seems that at the scale these plants operate, it's not economic to run one for a country of 4.5 million people (with a first world minimum wage) without tariffs or subsidies.
