That's often used to justify tariffs, but the argument does not stand up to scrutiny. I've never heard of a tariff that is based on embodied carbon, percentage of slave labor that went into production of the good, or so on.

Such tariffs would address the issues you are talking about (and also eliminate a significant percentage of global political corruption), but I think they're actually in violation of international law.
