During his visit to Arlington, Mr. Lopez, a tourist from Chile, bought a pizza from Pie Five Pizza, located on Spaniolo Dr. This transaction can be considered as an export of the pizza to Chile without the need for Pie Five to pay for transportation costs. Instead of Pie Five delivering the pizza to Chile and incurring transportation expenses, Mr. Lopez personally went to Pie Five on Spaniolo Dr. and picked it up. To cover the transportation charge, Mr. Lopez paid for it himself. As a result, this transaction contributed to the increase in our exports in the same way that shipping pizza to Chile would have.
