No, I don't think so. International shipping is very efficient. IIRC, it uses less carbon to ship something from Shanghai to NYC then it does from Chicago to NYC.
Perhaps you were thinking of the "pollution from one container ship = 1 million cars" meme that went around a few years ago. That was referring to sulphur emissions which are not a greenhouse gas and actually reduce global temperature.
