It'll be interesting to see how it's gamed, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try - you will get things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP1Oq3JLNbc but they can be corrected for later.
One solution would be to switch the tax to a tariff on goods that can be avoided if you prove reduced carbon travel. So if your goods are from China, you get the 100% whatever it is, but if you can show that they travelled from China on whatever is considered acceptable, it drops to 20% or 0% or similar.
