These goods are produced internationally. How do you intend to force foreign governments to have a carbon tax?

A valid question. By keeping to raise that import tax until they accept doing a trustable carbon tax instead. Next up: how could you identify a trustable carbon tax? How could you do the tariff thing without all hell breaking loose both on the level of inter-government relations and in terms of plain old grassroots contraband snuggling?
