Explanation:

Question 1

Items from one's own country are called domestic goods or domestic products. In trade terms, goods produced within a country's borders and sold within or outside (but originating from) the country are domestic.

Items from another country are called imported goods or imports. These are goods brought into a country from foreign nations for trade or consumption.

First, goods from another country could arrive in Georgia via ports (if by sea) or airports (if by air) or rail (if from a neighboring country with rail connections). Then, from the port/airport/rail terminal, they can be transported by trucks (using highways) to a distribution center. Finally, a delivery truck (highway) can transport the goods from the distribution center to the house. For example, a product from China might come to the Port of Savannah (Georgia's port) by ship (port system), then be loaded onto a truck (highway) to go to a local warehouse, and then a delivery van (highway) to the house. Or if it's a perishable item from Europe, it might come via an airplane (airport) to Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta International Airport, then by truck to the house.

Answer:

Domestic goods (or Domestic products)
