The Price Level Index (PLI) expresses the price level of a given country relative to another. With higher PLI, there is higher opportunity for domestic shoppers to do cross-border shopping
Currently, the PLI for US is 113 and US consumers mostly shop from UK, China and Canada, whose price level indices are 108, 59 and 107 respectively

Product choice

Consumers shop from other borders because of the large availability of product choices, which is not available in their country
Large domestic markets such as Germany, the US and UK, inhibit the need for shopping abroad
