But shouldn't carbon tax equally apply to imported steel? It wouldn't make any sense to only apply it to domestic.

So, I can see one obvious issue here. How do you know that what they say about their steel's carbon load is true? This goes double as they're incentivized to lie to you, you have minimal control over what happens in their country and worse, the incentives go all the way up to the nation states level, as being carbon neutral is counter to growth.
