No, but goods have different prices, and sometimes costs.

If you make olive oil in Italy and sell it in Germany, they price won’t be the same in both places. The shipping to Germany has to be added in the German stores, and that’s more than local Itallian delivery.

When the cost of fuel goes up, the cost of transportation goes up and prices go up. In the US, transportation cost, due to government oil policy changes, is the largest driver for inflation. Wages are second.
