Our World In Data has a good collection of data sets and explanations for emissions adjusted by import/export. Here are a couple of them:
https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-per-capita https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-per-capit...
As expected, a "consumption based" approach to measuring CO2 shows advanced economies with higher emissions than otherwise reported and big manufacturing exporters like China with lower emissions. The good news is that advanced economies are still making real progress: they have lower emissions per capita now than they did at the beginning of the 21st century, even after adjusting numbers for offshored manufacturing.
EDIT: on an absolute (not just per-capita) basis, the US has also reduced its consumption based CO2 emissions in the 21st century:

It peaked in 2005 and has been below the year 2000 emissions level every year since 2009.
